The Carter Family radio
LYRICS:
Now I can't wait on baby the smiling merchant said
As stooped and softly toyed with his golden curly head
I want to call up mamma came the answer full and free
Will you telephone and ask her when she's coming back to me
My child the merchant murmured as he stroked the anxious brow
No telephone connection where your mother lives at now
No telephone in heaven and a tear sprang in her eyes
I thought God had everything with him up in the sky
Tell her that I get so lonesome that I don't know what to do
And pappa cries so much I guess he must be lonesome too
Tell her to come to baby cause at night I get so 'fraid
With no one there to kiss me when the lights begin to fade

Maybelle did sing lead on a pressing from the very first Bristol recordings.

AP and Sara are not buried together. They are in the same graveyard (Mt. Vernon) several rows apart. The site next to AP was reserved for his daughter Jeanette and is sadly now occupied. The headstones of rose colored granite used for AP and Sara is the same and there is a record with the title Keep on the Sunny Side on them. The family brought her back to Poor Valley but I believe it was her wish to be buried with Coy Bayes (Bays) her husband.

I can't think of one in the early career. Maybelle was not who AP was in love with so of course she didn't get the solos.

Un monument de la country music!
-
Delight!
-
Yes it is true, they are buried together, AP never let to love her.

@elias01 It is a fact The Carter Family played at Del Rio/ Cuidad Acuna first then at Xera then at Monterrey.
I had been to Acuna /.Del Rio and had seen the artifacts of their broadcasting. They recorded live when they first went to Texas, later they would record and the masters were taken to the radio station in Monterrey. AP Carter was so depressed that Sara and Coy Bayes were flaunting their romance in his face he went home to be in Virginia - his absence is noticable on the recordings
