Don't Forget This Song

Don't Forget This Song - The Carter Family

My home's in old Virginny

Among the lovely hills

The memory of my birthplace

Lies in my bosom still

I did not like my fireside

I did not like my home

I have a mind for rambling

So far away from home

It was on one moonlight evening

The stars were shining bright

And with an ugly dagger

I made the spirit fly

Twas then the sober struck me

As plain as you can see

I'm doomed I'm ruined forever

Throughout eternity

I courted a fair young lady

Her name I will not tell

Oh why should I disgrace her

When I am doomed for hell

But now I'm upon my scaffold

My time's not very long

You may forget the singer

But don't forget this song
