Tex Ritter - Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin' 1952
(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
Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
