| Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
|
| Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand
|
| We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
|
| The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
|
| Our love was in flower as summer grew on
|
| Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone
|
| Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
|
| Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand
|
| The roses have faded there’s frost at my door
|
| The birds in the morning don’t sing anymore
|
| The grass in the valley is starting to die
|
| And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
|
| Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
|
| Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand
|
| Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be
|
| She may have forsaken some other like me
|
| She promised to honor to love and obey
|
| Each vow was a plaything that she threw away
|
| Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
|
| Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand hold to my hand |
