Like a bird that's lost his mate in flight I'm alone and oh so blue tonight Like a piece of driftwood on the sea may you never be alone like me I gave up my friends I left my home when you promised to be mine alone Now you're gone our love could never be may you never be alone like me [ mandolin - banjo ] I believed the lies you told to me when you whispered dear I worship Thee Now here am I alone and blue all because I loved no one but you In the Bible God's own words to say for every wrong someday you'll pay I pray the Lord to set me free may you never be alone like me
