Little Log Cabin by the Sea - Carter Family

Little Log Cabin by the Sea by The Carter Family
This includes two short movieclips recorded by the sea. The short clips are not connected to The Carter Family or any place in the USA.
LYRICS:
There is a precious volume of pages worn and old
In that little log cabin by the sea
It is the old old bible more precious now than gold
It's the bible that my mother gave to me

Tis the old precious bible blessed bible
That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)
The precious precious bible the blessed blessed bible
The bible that my mother gave to me

How often I have listened to the countless town and raves
Round that little log cabin by the sea
While mother read of Jesus who walked upon the waves
How Jesus calmed the stormy Gallilee

How often oh how often she read of glowing mirth
With a message from the precious word above
It told of faithful Daniel who trusted in the Lord
While it lead me in the pathway that she brought

There is no other volume so precious as this book
It tells me how to live and how to die
It tells me of that city oh wondrous wondrous look
And that I'll meet my loved ones by and by

This is one of the first numbers Charlie and I sang. Everyone expressed wonderment at the great song we had found. Silly people. How proud AP "Doc" looks. Thanks once again for posting The Original Carter Family. " One day people will want to know where the Carters came from" AP Carter.

I do a version of this called Single Wide Trailer By The Sea about my mom, because her bible is about the only thing I still have to remember her by and Bristol was a city we went to fairly often because it was on the way from Delmarva to Chattanooga where she was from. Awesome upload, very helpful when you're drunk and depressed!
