The Carter Family, My Little Home In Tennessee, and I Loved You Better Than You Knew

[@marimbulaman]

How wonderful it is that we can still enjoy the sweet harmony of the Carter family who have long past over the River Jordan. Boy I love their singing!

[@johnnyp8979]

Many "good" Americans cannot swallow this, this music that is a strong foundation of what is Country, Blues, Texan and so many other music styles here in the USA. Carter family were originators of "Americana" and what was the beginning of the compilation of EARLY recorded music. What wonder that we have stuff like this... Even Robert Johnson, BLIND WILLIE, HANK, etc... All those of us who have gained from THIS, imagine all of the rest(musicians) who were influenced ?, 👍 !

Maybell's guitar adds greatly to this song and many others .

[@GBailey76]

These songs are great. Thanks for posting!

[@felinefraulein]

Thank you for your beautiful songs!

[@hazensweeney5633]

Listen to Mother play that guitar. She was good !

[@marimbulaman]

At 65 you are still a youngster but isn't grand that we can still enjoy the old music through KZbin. I love in back then and I still love it. I did not start playing the music myself until my wife past away in 2004 and I joyed my daughter's Deication Band playing the Marimbula. The views on my channel now are not the Dedication Band, but family members who gathered for my 83rd birthday.

John Brown He's a youngster? I am 18 and I am so glad my grandma (who is 73) introduced me to bluegrass and country music, for I would never know the good stuff!

[@thepincushionman7063]

This is gold. 30 year old from Elizabethton TN found life's hidden treasure.

[@angeladodson]

Country music at its best!

[@hawkeye4771]

one only has to listen to the Carter Family music [ on CD or Cassette] as they drive nice and slow along the backroads around Gate City and Hilton's VA on their way to the Carter Family Fold to make the tears begin flowing.

My Little Home In Tennessee 0:19 Every night I'm dreaming of a little home Down among the hills of Tennessee And I'm always lonely, longing to return To the place that means the world to me 0:39 Just a little shack, roof all turning black Still it is a palace fair to me Songbirds always singing 'round my kitchen door In my little home in Tennessee 1:16 I can see my mother standing by the gate As I drove the old horse up the lane She would never scold me when I'd get in late How I wish I'd never caused her pain 1:35 With her tender smile beaming all the while No one could be so kind to me Now she's gone to heaven and she'll never return To my little home in Tennessee 2:12 I can still remember many years ago When my sweetheart wandered by my side Down among the mountains where wildflowers grow There she promised she would be my bride 2:32 Then another man won her heart and hand Then I knew how much she meant to me I was brokenhearted and I went away From my little home in Tennessee

"The Golden-age was never the present age". The Carter Family are a genuine beginning.

[@terraceyouth2961]

Well, at least Ralph Peer thought so..!

[@kalevala29]

it's very much of a time and place. reminds me of my grandma.

[@MrWillyis]

Love the Carter Family

[@hazensweeney5633]

Sara's leaving AP broke his heart and he never recovered from the loss .

[@gdaigle800]

@marimbulaman Yeah I totally Agree - I fell like I was born too late even tho Im 65

[@douglasd53]

I'm also 65...I always wished I was born about 15 years or so earlier. The late '40s and the '50s were the Golden Age. Maybe just a little ways into the '60s.

[@alan4sure]

@@douglasd53 I'm almost 65, glad I wasn't born earlier or I'd be older.

[@Interandd]

Cudowne!

[@georgerivers607]

...I would be interested to hear A.P.'s thoughts on iTunes.

[@colinhaines9369]

George Rivers I think he’d like that his music is now for everyone for hear, I don’t know what he’d think about todays pop music though...

[@alan4sure]

If you ask him you'll find he's speechless.

[@gunvald833]

I loved you better then you knew is so sad, I always think of that someone who is no longer part of my life, brings a lot of memories of long ago.

[@marimbulaman]

Sorry for taking so long ro reply. I have been in and out of the hospital and have not been on youtube too much or hardly at all. John

[@henningandersen9027]

'She would never scold me, when I was getting lai.'..ah...LATE of course...

[@BonnieStoner]

Sarah always seems so sad. I hope she is OK!

[@henningandersen9027]

Amen! Wheree'r she roams!

[@alicar1]

Her Mother has NOT gone to Heaven!! She has died and is resting peacefully in her grave. I'm sure, however, that she will be resurrected and go to Heaven when Jesus comes again to take His loved ones home.

[@douglasd53]

Her body is in the grave, but her spirit is present with the Lord, according to Paul. The two will be joined again at the resurrection.
