Carter's Blues - Kathy Larisch/Carol McComb

As I walked out one morning fair

To view the fields and taste the air

For to view the fields and nettles around

I thought I heard some lonesome sound

O thought I heard my true love say

O do come go this way

You love some other and 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

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

So fare you well my charming little love

O meet me in that land above

And when we meet there in that land

We'll take no more this parting hand
