In our little mountain home

It's empty, cold and loveless now inside

For your childish love and vows

Lasted only one short year

Now you've gone away to be another's bride

Chorus:

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

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 it's tiny golden frame

And a vision of your smile I still recall

Chorus:

You will never know the pain…

Though they say we live and learn

From our sorrows we must turn

And be able to forget sad memories

Let me wish you love and wealth

May you take no careless tell

But my broken heart will mend eternally

Chorus:
