Dawn Eden, having discovered A Man for All Seasons, the movie, and also having discovered that it was directed by Fred Zinnemann who also directed that other great film about one man standing alone and risking everything, High Noon, took it upon herself to challenge me to write a theme song for A Man for All Seasons using the melody from The Ballad of High Noon.
So, here it is.
High Noon for All Seasons
Do not forsake me good King Henry
For this divorcing “Nay”.
Do not forsake me good King Henry-
Wait! Hold that blade!
I am your good and faithful servant,
So full of wit and not a bore,
I don’t know why it’s so unnervin’
To call your wedding
No more than bedding
And say your Anne Boleyn’s a whore.
What is this thing called Church of England?
Protestant/Catholic doctrine minglin’
Look at those people lining up,
Signing that oath.
I made a vow to Higher Power,
Now I am waiting in the Tower.
Look at that axe man standing tall-
What if my top part should leave me?
Do not foresake me good King Henry,
Just ‘cause I take my cues from Rome.
In school I wish I’d had more mem’ry
And learned ebonics
Instead of phonics
To say that I beheading home.
Let it swing, let it swing.
Let it swing, let it swing!
