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 »

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
Oh I'll pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you love me again.

How dark those clouds are above me
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

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
Oh I'll pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you love me again.

Oh the white rose that blooms in the garden
It grows with the love of my heart
It broke through on the day that I met you
It will die on the day that we part

Take back all the gifts you have given
But a ring and a lock of your hair
And a card with your picture upon it
It's a face that is false but is fair

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
Oh I'll pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you love me again.

Tell me why is that you do not love me
Tell me why is your smile not bright
Tell me why have you grown so cold hearted
Is there no kiss for me love tonight

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
Oh I'll pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you love me again.
