Carter's Blues Songtext
von The Carter Family

As I woke up one morning fair
To view the fields and take the air
For to view the fields and 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
You care not for my company
You love some other, and I know why
Because he has more gold than I
But gold will melt and silver will fly
My love for you will never die

Yodel-ay-ee, oh-lay-ee, ay-oh-lay-ee

There is a flower, I've heard them say
That can be seen from day to day
And if that flower I only could find
To cure this aching heart of mine

Yodel-ay-ee, oh-lay-ee, ay-oh-lay-ee

So fare you well, my charming little love
Oh, meet me in that land above
And when we meet there in that land
We′ll take no more this parting hand

Yodel-ay-ee, oh-lay-ee, ay-oh-lay-ee
