Letra ALONE AND FORSAKEN de Hank Williams original
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
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 faded, there'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
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please Am> hold to my hand
Oh, E7> please under-Am> stand.
Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she be
She may have forsaken some other like me
She promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away.
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is starting to bey
I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love.
Refrain
