From the recording Let Me Fly
Fran brought this timeless Louvin Brothers classic to the band, inspired by the version on the 1983 release Here Today, with Herb Pederson, Vince Gill and David Grisman. A more red-blooded, died-in-the-wool bluegrass song, you won't find anywhere.
Lyrics
Darling I'm all alone in our little mountain home
It's lonely cold and loveless now inside
For your childesh love and vows lasted only one short year
Then you went away to be another's bride
You will never know the pain
That I left the day you left
Should you ever love 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 a little golden frame
And a vision of your smile I still recall
[chorus]
[breaks]
