Alone and Forsaken - Hank Williams

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 have withered and gone

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

Oh, 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

Oh, please understand

The darkness has fallen, the sky has turned gray

The hound in the distance is starting to bay

I wonder, I wonder what 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

Oh, please understand

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand

Oh, please understand

Oh, please understand

Oh, please understand
