    ** I learned this song off of a Kathy and Carol record in my
    parent's collection. I've heard a version by Mike Seeger as well.
     

        Carter's Blues (A.P. Carter 1891-1960)

        As I walked out one morning fair
        To view the fields and taste the air
        To view the fields and the meadows round
        I thought I heard a mournful sound
        I thought I heard my true love say
        Oh won't you come and go this way

        You love some other, you don't love me
        You care not for my company
        You love some other and I know why
        Because he has more gold than I
        But gold will melt and silver will fly
        My love for you will never die

        There is a flower, I've heard them say
        That can be seen from day to day
        And if that flower I only could find
        To cure this aching heart of mine
        So fare thee well my shiny little dove
        I'll meet you in that land above
        And when we meet there in that land
        We'll shake no more this parting hand
