1.My Texas Girl
作词:A P Carter
All my life I've wondered if what I done was wrong
All I ever cared to do was ride my pony on
I never had no heartache was always happy and gay
Until I met a Texas girl who stole my heart away
Where the sleepy Rio Grande goes slowly to the sea
It was there she promised to be mine throughout eternity
But the angels they grew jealous of her beauty and her smile
And came along one stormy night and stole away my bride
The birds have hushed their singing sadness is over the land
The birds miss my darling by the sleepy Rio Grande
Her lips were like the Russian wine her hair it hung in curls
Her cheeks were like the dawn of day that breaks upon the world
She's gone and left me lonely I miss the touch of her hand
Tonight while I am walking by the sleepy Rio Grande
2.The Storms Are On The Ocean
作词:A P Carter
I'm going away for to leave you love
I'm going away for a while
But I'll return to you sometime
If I go ten thousand miles
The storms are on the ocean
And the heavens may cease to be
This world may lose it's motion love
If I prove false to thee
Oh who's gonna shoe your pretty little feet
Who's gonna glove your little hand
Who's gonna kiss your ruby red lips
When I'm in a foreign land
Oh see that lonesome turtledove
As he flies from pine to pine
He's a mourning for his own true love
Just the way I mourn for mine
3.On The Rock Where Moses Stood
作词:A P Carter
I'm holdin' to the Lord I'm holdin' to the Lord
Oh if I could I suery would stand on the rock where moses stood
Sinners run and hide your face sinners run and hide your face
Go runnin' to the rock and hide your face Lord I ain't no

I'm holdin' to the Lord
Lord I ain't no stranger now Lord I ain't no stranger now

4.My Home Among The Hills
作词:A P Carter, Maybelle Carter, S Carter
Got a home in the hills of old Virginia I love still
And it stands near the lonesome pines
And I long to go back to the vine covered shack
Where I left that old mother of mine
I can still see her there in that old rocking chair
In my home among the hills
And I seem to hear her say why did you go away
From your home among the hills
The pine trees stand alone near my old Virginia home
And that silver hared mother of mine
I can see her smiling face in that old familiar place
In my home among the hills
I'm leaving here today I'm going back to stay
In my home among the hills
How happy we will be near the lonesome pine trees
In my home among the hills
5.Blackie's Gunman
作词:A P Carter
I was known as Blackie's gunman
The best two gunman in the land
I could shoot the ace of diamonds
With a draw from either hand
With the dice I had no equal
Some of them are with us now
Most of them are sadly sleeping
'Neath the weeping willow bough
Many a cowboy's game I've played in
Left that night with all their gold
As a sport I was broken
As a sport I let it go
I once loved a girl named Nellie
How we loved no tongue can tell
But I know, I'll never meet her
Oh, it was hard to say farewell
Her eyes were like the deep blue water
And her hair was golden curls
And her cheeks were crimson velvet
And her teeth were snow white pearls
Together we lived in a cottage
And our life, it was a dream
And the angels they watched o'er us
Made our life one happy dream
6.Can the Circle Be Unbroken (Bye and Bye)
作词:Alvin Pleasant Carter
I was standing by the window
On a dark and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Can the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Lord, I told the undertaker, undertaker
Please drive slow
For this body you are holding Lord
Lord, I hate to see her go
Can the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Can the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Went that home Lord, my home was lonesome
Yes my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters cryin'
What a home to sit alone
Can the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
7.My Clinch Mountain Home
作词:A.p. Carter
Far away on a hill to sunny mountain side
Many years ago we parted, my little Ruth and I
From the sunny mountain side
She clung to me and trembled when I told her we must part
She said, 'Don't go my darling, it almost breaks my heart
To think of you, so far apart'
Carry me back to old Virginia
Back to my clinch mountain home
Carry me back to old Virginia
Back to my old mountain home
I fold my arms around her, leaned her head upon my breast
I told her I would wed her when I came back from the west
At my old clinch mountain home
In my hand I hold a picture of the old home far away
In the other one my sweetheart I'm thinking of today
On the sunny mountain side
Carry me back to old Virginia
Back to my clinch mountain home
Carry me back to old Virginia
Back to my old mountain home
My mother's old and feeble, my father's getting gray
I'm going back to Virginia and I expect to stay
At my old, clinch mountain home
Carry me back to old Virginia
Back to my clinch mountain home
Carry me back to old Virginia
Back to my old mountain home
8.Cannon Ball Blues
作词:A P Carter
Oh, listen to the train coming down the line
Trying to make up all their lost time
From Buffalo to Washington
You can wash my jumper, starch my overalls
Catch a train they call the Cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington
My baby's left me, she even took my shoes
Enough to give a man these doggone worried blues
She's gone, she's solid gone
Yonder comes the train, coming down the track
Carry me away but it ain't gonna carry me back
My honey, babe, my blue eyed babe
I'm going up north, I'm going up north this fall
If luck don't change, I won't be back at all
My honey, babe, I'm leaving you

But the married girl, oh, the married girl
The married girl, she wears just any old kind
Just any old kind
Oh, she wears just any old kind
Well, the single girl, yeah, the single girl
The single girl, she goes anywhere she please
Goes where she please

But the married girl, yeah, the married girl
She got a baby on her knees, baby on her knees
Oh, she got a baby on her knees
Baby on her knees
