Carter's Blues

(intro) D A D

                D                A
    As I walked out one morning fair,
                                     D
    to view the fields and taste the air,
                                         A
    for to view the fields and nettles around,
                                     D
    I thought I heard some lonesome sound.
                                    A
    I thought I heard my true love say,
                              D
    oh do turn and come this way.

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

                 D                    A
   There is a flower I've heard them say
                                  D
    that can be seen from day to day,
                                     A
    and if that flower I only could find
                                  D
    to cure this aching heart of mine.

                 D                       A
    So fare you well my charming little love,
                              D
    oh meet me in that land above.
                                    A
    And when we meet there in that land,
                                     D
    we'll take no more this parting hand.
