Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
  Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand
  We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
  The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
  Our love was in flower as summer grew on
  Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone
  Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
  Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand
  The roses have faded there's frost at my door
  The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
  The grass in the valley is starting to die
  And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
  Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
  Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand
  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
  Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
  Oh Lord if you hear me please hold to my hand please understand hold to my hand
