Forsaken Love |
They stood in the moonlight beside the gate |
Goodbye my darling I know you’ll wait |
He sees her weeping and smile through her tears |
Saying I’ve been true love through these long years |
For on tomorrow at the break of day |
He was to journey far far away |
He held her closer his promised bride |
And to her questions these words replied |
I’ve loved you always yes I’ve been true |
My heart shall ever beloved for you |
O darling believe me far over the sea |
Through life or death so faithful I’ll be One year past by he’s coming home |
His pilgrimage over no longer to roam |
And smiling he thinks of her shinning eyes |
Shinning with welcoming glad surprise |
A dandy letter he takes from his breast |
To which his extended lips were pressed |
And reading once more by the warming light |
These words he had spoken to her that night |
Once more he seeks the old garden gate |
But he rides a land alas it’s too late |
The wedding is over the knot is tied |
He finds his darling another’s bride |
And later they found him there on the grass |
A pistol near by tells what had passed |
A crop of letters that explained the deed |
And in the pale moonlight these words did read |
