Subject: ADD: You Left Me Alone (Country Gentlemen)
Dale sent me a recording, so here's my attempt at a transcription. It isn't very easy to understand.
This is a really lousy transcription. Maybe now that I've done the preliminary work, somebody can fill in the blanks.
In fact, this transcription is ludicrous, and I'm really embarrassed about it. I think I got the second verse right, though.
YOU LEFT ME ALONE
Songwriter: unknown
as recorded by the Country Gentlemen
My dear you've been gone
For such a long time;
You know that that (drives?)
Me out of my mind.
You left me alone,
And went on your way;
And my broken heart,
To cross it must pay....(?)
The sigh of the wind,
The beat of the rain,
Brings back to my heart,
This feeling of pain.
I try to forget,
But it never will be;
For my broken heart
Just won't set me free.
When I close my eyes,
Or look into space,
My scene of the dark (?)
With your smiling face;
Wherever I go,
Whatever I say,
My poor aching heart
Will have its way.
Oh, time is so long,
Till my heart is soothed (?)
Till that very day
I found your will (?)
They will not cry
Something is still gone
And I can't forget
You left me alone.
