Lyrics:

we met in the springtime when the blossoms unfold the pastures green and the meadow gold our love was in flower as the summer grew on her love like the leaves have all withered and gone roses have faded and there's frost at my door the bird of the morning wont sing anymore the grass in the valley has started to die and out in the darkness the whippoorwill cry alone and forsaken by fate and by man o lord if you hear me take hold my hand where has she gone to where can she be she may have forsaken some other like me she promised to honor to love and obey each vow a plaything she threw away the darkness has fallen the sky turns gray the hound in the distance has started to bay i wonder i wonder what she's thinking of forsaken forgotten without any love alone and forsaken by fate and by man o lord can you hear me take hold my hand alone and forsaken by fate and by man o lord can you hear me take hold my hand alone and forsaken by fate and by man o lord can you hear me take hold my hand please understand
