ALONE AND FORSAKEN Lyrics



Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.



We [Am] met in the springtime when blossoms unfold

The pastures were green and the [E7] meadows were [Am] gold

Our love was in flower as summer grew on

Her love like the leaves now has [E7] withered and [Am] gone.



The roses have faded, there's frost at my door

The birds in the morning don't [E7*] sing any-[Am] more

The grass in the valley is starting to die

And out in the darkness the [E7] whippoorwills [Am] cry.



Refrain

A-[F] lone and forsaken by [C] fate and by man

Oh, Lord, if You hear me please [Am] hold to my hand

Oh, [E7] please under-[Am] stand.



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.



The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray

A hound in the distance is starting to bey

I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of

Forsaken, forgotten - without any love.



Refrain
