Alone 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, theres frost at my door

The birds in the morning dont [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 "bay"

I wonder, I wonder - what shes thinking of

Forsaken, forgotten - without any love.



Refrain
