ALONE AND FORSAKEN
Alone and Forsaken
by Hank Williams
Am
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
E7Am
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
E7Am
Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone
The roses have faded there's frost at my door
E7Am
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley is starting to die
E7Am
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
FC
A lone and forsaken by fate and by man
Am
OhLordif You hear me please hold to my hand
E7Am
Oh please understand
Am
Oh where has she gone tooh where can she be
E7Am
She may have forsaken some other like me
She promised to honor to love and obey
E7Am
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away
The darkness is falling the sky has turned gray
E7Am
A hound in the distance is starting to bay
I wonder I wonderwhat she's thinking of
E7Am
Forsaken forgottenwithout any love
