"The Ballad of High Noon" (or "Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darlin' ") is a popular song published in 1952, with music by Dimitri Tiomkin and lyrics by Ned Washington.[1] It was introduced in the movie High Noon, sung over the opening credits by Tex Ritter. It was awarded the 1952 Academy Award for Best Original Song,[1] and was performed that night for the Academy by Ritter.[2]
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 honor and obligation which define the film.[citation needed] It is placed at #25 on "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs".
I think what is played here is just a variation of the movie theme song as written by the composer Dimitri Tiomkin. You can hear phrases of the theme in this piece. Don't know if it has an actual name though.
Unlikely. What's played in the background of the song is very different from what's played in that scene

Not sure what it's called, but it is a variation on the movie's theme song. Just so you know, Tex Ritter was the father of John Ritter.

For anybody who likes the High Noon theme tune, there's a nice version of it by Duane Eddy on You Tube. His twangy guitar is backed by some smooth strings.
