letra de forsaken love - the carter family

Loading...

[verse 1]
they stood in the moonlight nearby the gate
goodbye, my darling, i know you’ll wait
she ceased weeping and smiled through tears
saying, i’ve been true, love, through these long years
for on tomorrow at the break of day
he was to journey far far away
he held her closer, his promised bride
and to her questions these words replied

[chorus]
i’ve loved you always, yes, i’ve been true
my heart shall never be, love, but for you
oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
through life or death, still faithful i’ll be

[verse 2]
one year p-ssed by, he’s coming home
his pilgrimage over, no longer to roam
and smiling, he thinks of her shining eye
shining with welcome, a glad surprise
a dainty letter he takes from his breast
to which his extended lips were pressed
and reading once more by the warming light
the words he had spoken to her that night

[chorus]

[verse 3]
once more he seeks the old garden gate
but he arrives, alas, alas, it’s too late
the wedding is over, the knot is tied
he finds his darling another’s bride
and later they found him there on the gr-ss
a pistol nearby, still holding fast
a crop of letters that explained the deed
and in the pale moonlight these words did read

[chorus]
