作词：佚名

作曲：John R Cash

On October 23rd 1978

I lost a loved one and I confess I cried

In the joyous celebration of the lady and her music

There were tears in the Holston River

When Maybelle Carter died

Then walking down that river road

I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets

Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river side

And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds for the love

That was behind 'em

There were tears in the Holston River

When Mother Maybelle died

Then on January 8th 1979

We lost Sara Carter and the pain was multiplied

Down below that old Clinch Mountain

We laid her at Mount Vernon

There were tears in the Holston River

When Sara Carter died

Then walking down that river road

I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets

Silver beads of love sparklin' in the riverside

And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds

For the love that was behind 'em

There were tears in the Holston River

When Maybelle and Sara died

There were tears in the Holston River

When Mother Maybelle and Sara Carter died
