[00:03.49]We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
[00:07.62]The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
[00:13.08]Our love was in flower as summer grew on
[00:17.40]Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone
[00:23.55]The roses have faded  there's frost at my door
[00:27.72]The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
[00:33.72]The grass in the valley is starting to die
[00:38.05]And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
[00:43.95]Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
[00:48.78]Oh  Lord  if You hear me please hold to my hand
[00:53.35]Oh  please understand
[00:56.79]
[00:58.25]Oh  where has she gone to  oh  where can she be
[01:02.64]She may have forsaken some other like me
[01:08.53]She promised to honor  to love and obey
[01:13.30]Each vow was a plaything that she threw away
[01:20.69]The darkness is falling  the sky has turned gray
[01:25.28]A hound in the distance is starting to bey
[01:31.37]I wonder  I wonder  what she's thinking of
[01:36.14]Forsaken  forgotten  without any love
[01:42.16]Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
[01:47.10]Oh  Lord  if You hear me please hold to my hand
[01:51.88]Oh  please understand
