Darling I am all alone in our little mountain home
It's lonely cold and loveless now inside
For your childish vows of love 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 wed again
Let me wish you love and wealth
For that same old whippoorwill breaks the silence on the hill
As I stand and gaze upon it's faded wall
Where your picture used to hang in a little golden frame
And the vision of your smile I still recall
