The Carter Family

The Carter Family was a traditional American folk music group that recorded between 1927 and 1956. Their music had a profound impact on bluegrass, country, Southern Gospel, pop and rock musicians as well as on the U.S. folk revival of the 1960s. They were the first vocal group to become country music stars. Their recordings of songs as "Wabash Cannonball", "Can the Circle Be Unbroken", "Wildwood Flower" and "Keep On the Sunny Side" made them country standards. more »

My home's in Old Virginia
among the lovely hills
the memory of my birthplace
Lies in my bosom still

I did not like my fireside
I did not like my home
I have a mind for rambling
So far away from home

It was on one moonlight evening
the stars were shining bright
and with an ugly dagger
I let the spirit fly

Was then the sober struck me
as plain as you can see
I'm doomed I'm ruined forever
throughout eternity

I courted a fair young maiden
Her name I will not tell
Oh why, should I disgrace her
when I am doomed for Hell

But now up on my scaffold
My times not very long
You may forget the singer
but don't forget the song
