High Noon

High Noon - Connie Francis (康妮 法藍西斯)

This is the story of two men

One an ex convict

The other a man of honour

The ex convict vowed while in prison

To kill the man of honour

I can't be a coward

He says to his fair haired beauty

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'posin' I lose my fair haired beauty

Look at that big hand move along

Nearing high noon

He made a vow while in state's prison

Vowed it would be my life or his 'n

I'm not a 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
