lyrics
5. lost on the river
lost on the river
(Hank Williams)
Lost on the river, dark is the night
Just like the blind, praying for sight
Drifting alone, heart filled with strife
I’m lost on the river, the river of life
Once, dear, I thought I knew the way
That was before old sad yesterday
Words that you told me cut like a knife
I’m lost on the river, the river of life
Out on this river where sorrow creeps
Thinking of you, and how my heart weeps
Tomorrow you’ll be another man’s wife
And I’m lost on the river, the river of life

8. alone and forsaken
alone and forsaken
(Hank Williams)
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
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 here me, please hold to my hand
Oh, 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
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is starting to bay
I wonder, I wonder what she’s thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten without any love
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
Oh. please understand
