Talk:The Ballad of High Noon

Lyrics

I am considering adding the following under the heading "Lyrics".

In the context of film music, The Ballad of High Noon is acclaimed not merely for its musical integration with High Noon's score, but also for expounding lyrically on the themes of honour and obligation present in the film:

 Lyrics removed, copyright infringment

I think it constitutes fair use, because I'm quoting the lyrics for the purpose of substantiating commentary. Though Wikipedia doesn't usually host primary sources in its articles, I think the lyrics should be included here because they help explain how The Ballad of High Noon was integrated with High Noon, which is in turn the basis for explaining why this song has been so influential and popular. On the other hand, I note that in the article for Blowin' in the Wind, another song whose lyrics figured prominently in its success, words are not provided. So, opinions? --Zaxios 05:56, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Go on - put the words in. That's what the person looking up the item is after. There are alternative lyrics of the last verse:
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin':
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'.
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin',
Now that I need you by my side.

I believe the correct lyrics, as sung by Tex Ritter in the opening titles of the film are as follows:

Lyrics removed, copyright infringement

There are "sanitized" versions of the lyrics that Tex Ritter sang when performing the song in public, as well as by other artists who covered the song later, mostly having to do with dropping references to "Frank Miller". Yes, Tex sings "hizzen" in the fourth stanza, a U.S. southern dialect word for "his". —Quicksilver^{T @} 11:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
