Hank Williams - Alone & Forsaken Lyrics
Words and music by hank williams, sr.We [am] met in the springtime when blossoms unfoldThe pastures were green and the [e7] meadows were [am] goldOur love was in flower as summer grew onHer love like the leaves now has [e7] withered and [am] gone.The roses have faded, theres frost at my doorThe birds in the morning dont [e7*] sing any-[am] moreThe grass in the valley is starting to dieAnd out in the darkness the [e7] whippoorwills [am] cry.RefrainA-[f] lone and forsaken by [c] fate and by manOh, lord, if you hear me please [am] hold to my handOh, [e7] please under-[am] stand.Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she beShe may have forsaken some other like meShe promised to honor, to love and obeyEach vow was a plaything that she threw away.The darkness is falling, the sky has turned grayA hound in the distance is starting to bayI wonder, I wonder - what shes thinking ofForsaken, forgotten - without any love.Refrain
