| [00:02.37] |
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold |
| [00:07.53] |
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold |
| [00:13.03] |
Our love was in flower as summer grew on |
| [00:17.25] |
Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone |
| [00:23.41] |
The roses have faded, there's frost at my door |
| [00:27.51] |
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore |
| [00:33.29] |
The grass in the valley is starting to die |
| [00:37.78] |
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry |
| [00:43.78] |
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man |
| [00:48.21] |
Oh, lord, if you hear me please hold to my hand |
| [00:52.87] |
Oh, please understand |
| [00:57.87] |
Oh, where has she gone to,oh, where can she be |
| [01:02.37] |
She may have forsaken some other like me |
| [01:08.34] |
She promised to honor, to love and obey |
| [01:12.99] |
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away |
| [01:20.18] |
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray |
| [01:24.95] |
A hound in the distance is starting to "bay" |
| [01:30.94] |
I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of |
| [01:35.53] |
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love |
| [01:41.61] |
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man |
| [01:46.42] |
Oh, lord, if you hear me please hold to my hand |
| [01:51.22] |
Oh, please understand |
