Intro
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'pposin' 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
Said it would be my life or hisn'
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 grievin', I can't be leavin'
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
Movie version
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
On this our wedd'n' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Wait, wait along
The noon day [?] 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'pposin' 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
Said it would be my life or hisn'
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 when we wed
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Although you're grievin', I can't be leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead
Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
