Verse 1
[Am]We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the [E]meadows were[Am]were gold
[Am]Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Her love like the leaves now has [E]withered and [Am]gone
[Am]The roses have faded theres frost at my door
The birds in the morning dont [E]sing any[Am]anymore
[Am]The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the [E]whippoorwills [Am]cry

Oh Lord if You hear me, please [Am]hold to my hand
Oh [E]please under[Am]understand

She may have forsaken [E]some other [Am]like me
[Am]She promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that [E]she threw a[Am]away
[Am]The darkness is fallin' the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is [E]starting to [Am]bay
[Am]I wonder, I wonder what she's thinkin' of
Forsaken forgotten with[E]without any [Am]love
Chorus
A[F]Alone and forsaken by [C]fate and by man
Oh Lord if You hear me, please [Am]hold to my hand
Oh [E]please under[Am]understand
