Am We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold Em Am The pastures were green and the meadows were gold Am Our love was in flower as summer grew on Em Am Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone. Am The roses have faded there is frost at my door Em Am The birds in the morning donʼt sing anymore Am The grass in the valley is starting to die Em Am And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry. Chorus: F C Alone and forsaken by fate and by man Am Oh Lord if You hear me please hold to my hand Em Am Oh please understand. Am Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be Em Am She may have forsaken some mother like me Am She promised to honor to love and obey Em Am Each vow was a play thing that she threw away. Am The darkness is falling the sky has turned gray Em Am A hound in the distance is starting to bey Am I wonder I wonder what sheʼs thinking of Em Am Forsaken forgotten without any love.
