Do Not Forsake Me (The Ballad of High Noon)
Best Song in 1952
Words: Ned Washington
Music: Dmitri Tiomkin
Movie Vocals: Tex Ritter

Do not forsake me O my darlin'
On this our weddin' day
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
Wait, wait along

The noonday train will bring Frank Miller
If I'm a man 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

O to be torn 'twixt love and duty
S'posin' I lose my fair-hair'd beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon

That he made a vow while in State's Prison
Vow'd it would be my life or his an'
I'm not afraid of death, but O
What will I do if you leave me

Do not forsake me O my darlin'
You made that promise when we wed
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
Although you're grievin', I won't be leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead

Wait along, wait along
Wait along
Wait along
