Forsaken Love - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]
They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate[00:00:17]
Goodbye my darling I know you'll wait[00:00:20]
She ceased weeping and smiled through tears[00:00:25]
Saying I've been true love through these long years[00:00:28]
For on tomorrow at the break of day[00:00:33]
He was to journey far far away[00:00:36]
He held her closer his promised bride[00:00:41]
And to her questions these words replied[00:00:44]
I've loved you always yes I've been true[00:00:49]
My heart shall never be love but for you[00:00:52]
Oh darling believe me far over the sea[00:00:57]
Through life or death still faithful I'll be[00:01:00]
One year passed by he's coming home[00:01:20]
His pilgrimage over no longer to roam[00:01:24]
And smiling he thinks of her shining eye[00:01:28]
Shining with welcome a glad surprise[00:01:32]
A dainty letter he takes from his breast[00:01:36]
To which his extended lips were pressed[00:01:40]
And reading once more by the warming light[00:01:44]
The words he had spoken to her that night[00:01:47]
I've loved you always yes I've been true[00:01:52]
My heart shall never be love but for you[00:01:55]
Oh darling believe me far over the sea[00:02:00]
Through life or death still faithful I'll be[00:02:03]
Once more he seeks the old garden gate[00:02:07]
But he arrives alas alas it's too late[00:02:11]
The wedding is over the knot is tied[00:02:15]
He finds his darling another's bride[00:02:19]
And later they found him there on the grass[00:02:23]
A pistol nearby still holding fast[00:02:26]
A crop of letters that explained the deed[00:02:31]
And in the pale moonlight these words did read[00:02:34]
I've loved you always yes I've been true[00:02:39]
My heart shall never be love but for you[00:02:42]
Oh darling believe me far over the sea[00:02:47]
Through life or death still faithful I'll be[00:02:50]
