I remember very well
On one dark and dreary day
Just as I was leaving home
For a distant land to roam
Mother said (mother said)
My dear boy (my dear boy)
I hope to see you next year again
Fare you well (fare you well)

Far away in sunny mountains
Where the merry sunbeams play
There I wander through the clover
Singing to a village maid

She was dearer than the dearest
Ever loving kind and true

I will not be your sweetheart
I'll tell you the reason why
My mama always told me
To pass a drunkard by
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, o'er the sea
There's someone waiting for me

Goodbye my little bonnie blue eyes
Goodbye my little bonnie blue eyes
You've told me more lies than the stars in the skies
Goodbye my little bonnie blue eyes

I saw my little bonnie last night
She looked so dear to me

Tis true the rainbow has no end
It's hard to find a faithful friend
And when you find one just and true
Change not the old one for the new
Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me
Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me
Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me
That I may ever happy be

The Original Carter Family with their song Bury me under the Weeping Willow Tree. This is the first song they recorded on August 1, 1927 in Bristol.
LYRICS:
My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him, oh, no, never
Till I meet him in heaven above

Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

Can The Circle Be Unbroken :

I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Can the circle be unbroken

This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through
My treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue;
Where many Christian children have gone on before,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

chorus:
Oh Lord, You know I have no friend but you
If Heaven's not my home, Oh Lord what would I do?

As I woke up one morning fair
To view the fields and take the air
For to view the fields and the meadows around
I thought I heard some mournful sound
I thought I heard my true love say
"Oh, do turn and come this way"
Yodel-ay-ee, oh-lay-ee, ay-oh-lay-ee
You love some other, you don't love me

Mama sent me to the spring
She told me not to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
Could not get away
[Chorus:]
Chawin' chewin' gum, chewin' chawin' gum
Chawin' chewin' gum, chewin' chawin' gum
First she give me peaches

One beautiful night when the moon was full
And the air was crisp and clear
A cowboy lay on the starlit plain
And thought of his home so dear
[Instrumental break]
He thought of his mother he loved so well
And the slumber of sleep was buried
Not a sound to be heard but those of the night

While walking out one evening
Not knowing where to go
Just to pass the time away
Before we held our show
I heard the Bethel Nation stand
Singing with all their might
I give my heart to Jesus
And left the show that night

France's sun was slowly sinking o'er the hilltops far away
The land was in its beauty where the dying soldier lay
Tears were streaming down his face as he slowly raised his head
And these were the dying words he said

Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee
Let this be my last repose
Lay my feet beneath the lilacs

Along came the FFV, the swiftest on the line
Running o'er the C&O road just 20 minutes behind
Running into Seville headquarters on the line
Receiving their strict orders from the station just behind
Running into Hampton, the engineer was there
George Allen was his name, with curling golden hair
His fireman, Jack Dixon, was standing by his side
Awaiting for strict orders while in the cab to ride

1200 miles its length and breadth
The foursquare city stands
Its gemset walls of jasper shine
Not made by human hands
100 miles its gates are wide
Abundant entrance there
With fifty miles of elbow room
On either side to spare

Once I loved your fond affection
All my hopes on you was spent
Till a dark eyed girl persuaded
And you cared no more for me
Go on and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Never on earth will call you mine

They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate
Goodbye, my darling, I know you'll wait
She ceased weeping and smiled through tears
Saying, I've been true, love, through these long years
For on tomorrow at the break of day
He was to journey far far away
He held her closer, his promised bride
And to her questions these words replied

I've got a home in that rock
Don't you see (don't you see)
I've got a home in that rock
Don't you see
I've got a home in that rock
Just beyond the mountaintop
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
[Instrumental break]

Darling, how can I stay here without you
I have nothing to cheer my poor heart
This old world would seem sad, love, without you
Tell me now that we're never to part

I will pawn you my gold watch and chain, love
I will pawn you my gold diamond ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom

Goodbye to the pals of the prairie
Goodbye to the pals of the plains
Goodbye to the dash and the danger
Goodbye to the heartaches and pains

Goodbye to my faithful old pony
Take care of him, boys, when I go
I'm riding away on life's roundup

[Instrumental break]
There's a lonely cottage by the seaside
Where the water lilies strew the shore
It was there I passed my happy childhood
With a loved one that's gone before
Then give me back my dear old home
That old home by the sea
And I never will wander far away

Last night I told my heart's love
All under the pale blue sky
Eagerly waiting an answer
I plainly could see in her eye
I love you, sweetheart, I love you
And ask you to be my bride
Her face turned pale and she trembled
And sadly to me replied

Last night while I lay sleeping
Last night while in a dream
I saw my dear old mother
Down by a rippling stream
Don't ask me why I'm weeping
Don't ask me why I pray
For I've an aged mother
10,000 miles away

Our hands are clasped, alas, forever
Perhaps we'll never meet again
I love you like I love no other
This parting fills my heart with pain
As through this weary world I wander
My thoughts alone will be of you
In memory will I see you ever
I loved you better than you knew

One morning as I rambled all down the seashore
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around

I never will marry or be no man's wife
I expect to live single all the days of my life
The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed

I'll deck my brow with roses
The loved ones may be there
And gems that others give me
Will shine within my hair
And even those who know me
Will think my heart is light
Though my heart may break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight

There's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side, too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

Waltz, Kitty, waltz, let everybody waltz
Waltz, Kitty, waltz, let everybody waltz
Waltz, Kitty, waltz, let everybody waltz
The guitars are ringing, come on and waltz
[Instrumental break]
The girls are singing, their guitars are ringing
Their steps are so neat, their music so sweet
Waltz, Kitty, waltz, let everybody waltz

There is a precious volume of pages worn and old
In that little log cabin by the sea
It is the old old bible more precious now than gold
It's the bible that my mother gave to me

Tis the old precious bible blessed bible
That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)
The precious precious bible the blessed blessed bible

Away by the river so clear, the ladies were winding their way
And Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water
To bathe in the cool of the day
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
And away by the river so blue, the infant was lonely and sad

I'm going to the new jail tomorrow
To leave the one that I love
To leave my friends and relations
And, oh, how lonely, my love
Meet me by the moonlight, love, meet me
Meet me by the moonlight alone
For I have a sad story to tell you
To be told by the moonlight alone

Motherless children

I am thinking tonight of an old cottage home
That stands on the brow of the hill
Where in life's early morning I once loved to roam
But now all is quiet and still
Oh, my old cottage home, my old cottage home
That stands on the brow of the hill
Where in life's early morning I once loved to roam
But now all is quiet and still

Now I can't wait on babies, the smiling merchant said
As he stooped and gently toyed with its golden curly head
I want to call up mama, came the answer full and free
Would you telephone and ask her when she's coming back to me
My child, the merchant murmured
As he stroked the anxious brow
No telephone connection
Where your mother lives at now

There was a little ship and she sailed upon the sea
And she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree
And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low
And she sailed upon the lonesome sea

There was a little sailor unto his captain said
Oh captain, captain what'll you give to me
If I sink them in the low and lonesome low

Springtime is coming, sweet lonesome bird
Your echo in the woodland I hear
Down in the meadow so lonesome you're singing
While the moonlight is shining so clear
But I know he's away in a far distant land
A land that is over the sea
Go fly to him singing your sweet little song
And tell him to come back to me

Oh, listen to the train
Coming down the line
Trying to make up for all of her lost time
From Buffalo to Washington
[Instrumental break]
You can wash my jumper
Starch my overalls
Catch a train they call the Cannonball

Oh, listen today and a story I'll tell
In sadness and tear-dimmed eyes
Of a dreadful cyclone that came this way
And blew our schoolhouse away
Rye Cove (Rye Cove) Rye Cove (Rye Cove)
The place of my childhood and home
Where in life's early morn I once loved to roam
But now it's so silent and lone

If I was on some foggy mountain top
I'd sail away to the west
I'd sail around this whole wide world
To the girl I love the best
If I had listened what mama says
I would not have been here today
A-lying around this old jail house
A-weeping my sweet life away

Well, I wonder if they miss me when I'm gone
I wonder if they pray
For the boy who went away
And left his dear old parents all alone
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green
You could almost hear them cry

Mama says she don't want me
Because I'm getting old
Scared that I might freeze to death
The weather is so cold
If I live till night
I think I will try
When the moon goes down tonight
I'm going to say goodbye

We have met and we have parted
We have spoke our last goodbye
You have proved to me falsehearted
You may now forever go
You have wrecked the heart I've cherished
You have doomed me day by day
You are false, but I forgive you
To forget you, I cannot stay

When the sun of your life has gone down
And the clouds in the west turn to gold
Endless death will to you then have come
If the light has gone out in your soul
Oh, just think how in death you would feel
With the light growing dim in your soul
Oh, how lonely it will be, oh, how still
If the light has gone out in your soul

All the people of today, they are going far away
To the mountains, the lakes, or the sea
There's a little spot out west that I always loved the best
And there's someone a-waiting for me
She'll be happy (She'll be happy)
She'll be free (She'll be free
When she wanders alone with me
It'll be getting quite late

In that resurrection morning
When the trump of god shall sound
We shall rise... we shall rise
(Hallelujah, we shall rise)
Then the saints will come rejoicing
And no tears will e'er be found
We shall rise... we shall rise
(Hallelujah, we shall rise)

A wild and reckless hobo
Who left his happy home
Started upon a western trip
All by himself alone
Upon this western trip
We're going to have lots of fun
But upon this western trip
This is the song he sung

When the roses bloom in Dixieland
I am coming back to you
When the birds are singing music grand
To the sweetest girl I ever knew
I am saving up my money
To buy a little cabin home for two
When the roses bloom in Dixieland
I am coming back to you

Once more, little Annie, I must leave you
We shall part at the end of the lane
But promise me, little Annie
You will wait for me till springtime comes again

When the sun shines down on the mountain
And the wild sheep are wandering all alone
When the birds and the bees are a-humming

Oh, my loving mother, when the world's on fire
Don't you want God's bosom to be your pillow
Tide me over in the Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages cleft for me
I'm going to heaven when the world's on fire
And I want God's bosom to be my pillow
Tide me over in the Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages cleft for me

As recorded by The Carter Family
Written by A. P. Carter

Key of E
[Maybelle puts a capo on the 4th fret
and plays as if in the key of C using
the following chords]:

[Verse 1]
In a cold and cheerless garret
In a room so dim, so lone
In a frosty wintry silence
There was heard a little moan
And a little child is asking
At the break of the day
Will the roses bloom in heaven

When death shall close these eyelids
And this heart shall cease to beat
And they lay me down to rest
In some flowery bowery tree
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone

My bark of life was tossing down
The troubled stream of time
When first I saw your smiling face
And youth was in its prime

Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam
Where ever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
