Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold to my hand
Help me understand
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
e pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our love was in ower as summer grew on
Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone
e roses have faded, there’s frost at my door
e birds in the morning don’t sing any more
e gra** 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
Help me 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
Help me understand
e darkness has fallem, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is starting to bey
I wonder, I wonder - who she’s thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold to my hand
Help me understand
