[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
