Carter Family - Don't Forget This Song Lyrics




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
