High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)

(앨범: Salutes The American Cowboy / Songs Of The American Cowboy - 1982)

Do not forsake me, oh my darling
On this, our wedding day
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Wait, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And 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 and duty
S'posing 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 or his'n
I'm not afraid of death but oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darling
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Although you're grieving, don't think of leaving
Now that I need you by my side

(Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
