Darling I'm all alone, in our little mountain home
It's empty cold and loveless now inside
For your childesh love and vows, lasted only one short year
Then you went away to be another's bride

You will never know the pain
That I felt the day you left
Should you ever love again
Let me whish you love and wealth

While the same old whippoorwill breaks the silence on the hill
I stand and gaze upon the faded wall
Where your picture used to hang in a little golden frame
And a vision of your smile I still recall

* Refrain

Thouth they say we live and learn from our sorrowws we must turn
And be able to forgetr sad memories
Let me wish you love and wealth may you take good care of yourself
But my broken heart will last eternally

* Refrain
