The Ballad Of High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) (OST High Noon, 1952)
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin', On this, our wedding day. Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin', Wait; wait alone. The noon day train will bring Frank Miller. If I'm a man I must be brave For I must face a man who hates me, Or lie a coward, a craven coward; Or lie a coward in my grave.
Oh, to be torn 'twixt love an' duty. S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty. Look at that big hand move along, Nearing high noon.
He made a vow while in state prison: Vowed it would be my life for his an', I'm not afraid of death but, oh, what shall I do, If you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin': You made that promise when we wed. Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'. Although you're grievin', I won't be leavin', Until I shoot Frank Miller dead.
