Many Thanks for posting this GREAT song and its lyrics JZEPP......GOOD JOB!!!!
And JeffN727........I couldnt agree with you MORE!!!!
A song by Bud Landress of The Georgia Hammers......Sara Carter recalls that they learned this song from an old record......AND..........this song was the FIRST song EVER by the Carter family that Johnny Cash heard on the radio........&................the first Carter Family song he ever learned to play!!!!
Wow...! :) I've been listening to this song for years, but I've never known much about the history behind it, and I've always wondered...so thanks for sharing those bits... :) That's so awesome! I am glad you enjoyed the post! :) :)
There's an old and faded picture on the wall, that has been hanging there for many years. It's a picture of my mother for I know there is no other that can take the place of Mother on the wall.
Yes, the children all have gathered, all have gone - and I have a little family of my own - and I know I love them well, more than any tongue can tell - but I'll hold that dear, old picture on the wall.
Since I lost that dear, old mother years ago, there is none to which with troubles I can go. As my guitar makes its chords, I am praying to the Lord, let me hold that dear, old picture on the wall.
On the wall, on the wall. How I love that dear, old picture on the wall. Time is swiftly passing by and I bow my head and cry...for's I know I'll meet my mother after all.
very pretty...

Everytime I think I have heard the best of the Carters, I discover another gem. What truly great souls they were.

Mother Maybelle was just as much of an innovator on the guitar as Jimi Hendrix was! Great stuff! Thanks for posting.
