[Dm]
                                                     
We [Dm] met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the [A7] meadows were [Dm] gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Her love like the leaves now has [A7] withered and [Dm] gone

The [Dm] roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't [A7] sing any-[Dm]more
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the [A7] whippoorwills [Dm] cry

A-[Bb]lone and forsaken by [F] fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please [Dm] hold to my hand
Oh, [A7] please under-[Dm]stand

Oh, [Dm] where has she gone to, oh, where can she be
She may have forsaken some [A7] other like [Dm] me
She promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that [A7] she threw a-[Dm]way

The [Dm] darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is [A7] starting to [Dm] bay
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten with-[A7]out any [Dm] love

A-[Bb]lone and forsaken by [F] fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please [Dm] hold to my hand
Oh, [A7] please under-[Dm]stand
