{Intro: }
| [Dm]
We [Dm]met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the [A7]meadows were [Dm]gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Her love like the leaves now has [A7]withered and [Dm]gone
The [Dm]roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't [A7]sing any-[Dm]more
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the [A7]whippoorwills [Dm]cry
A-[Bb]lone and forsaken by [F]fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please [Dm]hold to my hand
Oh, [A7]please under-[Dm]stand
Oh, [Dm]where has she gone to, oh, where can she be
She may have forsaken some [A7]other like [Dm]me
She promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that [A7]she threw a-[Dm]way
The [Dm]darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is [A7]starting to [Dm]bay
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten with-[A7]out any [Dm]love
A-[Bb]lone and forsaken by [F]fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please [Dm]hold to my hand
Oh, [A7]please under-[Dm]stand
