Biografía:
The Carter Family es el grupo más influyente en la historia de la música country (conocida por entonces como Hillbilly). Su catálogo de cientos de canciones británicas/apalaches, descubiertas y arregladas por el patriarca de la familia A.P. Carter, se convirtió en la Biblia de la música country. Junto a su esposa Sara como voz y su cuñada como guitarrista/vocalista, Maybelle (que patentó técnicas para tocar que aún se utilizan), Carter grabó cientos de canciones para sellos como Victor and Decca durante los años 30 y 40.

I'm drawing near the old home

Dear sister's at the gate

She's leading me through the doorway
G D7 G
Oh, brother, you've come too late
[Chorus 2]

Oh, lead me to the casket

Throw back the linen so fine

That I may kiss her pale white lips

For I know they'll never kiss mine
[Solo]

I see the pale moon shining

On mother's white tombstone

The rosebuds 'round them twining

Are just like me alone
