Words and music by hank williamssr.



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 fadedthere's frost at my door

The birds in the morning don't [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

Ohlordif you hear me please [am] hold to my hand

Oh[e7] please under-[am] stand.



Ohwhere has she gone toohwhere can she be

She may have forsaken some other like me

She promised to honorto love and obey

Each vow was a plaything that she threw away.



The darkness is fallingthe sky has turned gray

A hound in the distance is starting to "bay"

I wonderI wonder - what she's thinking of

Forsakenforgotten - without any love.



Refrain
