(The Ballad of High Noon)
Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin’ - Soundtrack of the Western film 'High Noon', directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly
Do not forsake me, oh my darling On this our wedding day Do not forsake me, oh my darling Wait, wait along
The noonday train will bring Frank Miller If I'm a man I must be brave And I must face that deadly killer Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave.
Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state's prison That 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 darlin' You made that promise when we wed Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin', Although your grievin', I can't be leavin' Until I shoot Frank Miller dead
