ALONE AND FORSAKEN

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.
