Johnny Cash/Merle Travis/Tennessee Ernie Ford - Where Did They Go Lord Lyrics

The words of her promise the flame of her faith
And the love that would never drift away
Where did they go Lord where did they go
Somehow forever slipped out of my hands
And my dreams ran away with the wind
Where did they go Lord where did they go

Sometimes I wish I had left her for another
But Lord she just walked off all alone
The heart that's within me isn't bitter it's just empty
And bewildered because her love has gone

Oh the passion I trusted the truth that I leaned on
And the hope that would forever keep me strong
I cry out my questions but the answers are gone
Where did they go Lord where did they go
Oh where did they go Lord where did they go
