Darling I am all alone 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

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 that same old whippoorwill breaks the silence on the hill
I stand and gaze upon the faded wall
Where your picture used to hang in a little golden frame
And a vision of your smile I still recall

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 good care of yourself
But my broken heart will last eternally
Let me wish you love and wealth
