—The Carter Family
Far away in some deep mountain
Where the merry sunbeams play
There I wandered thru the clover
Singing to a village maid
Chorus:
She was dearer than the dearest
Ever loving kind and true
And she wore beneath her bonnet
Amber tressee tied in blue
Fact decreed that we parted
When the leaves of autumn fell
Then two hearts were seperated
That had loved each other well
She was all I had to cherish
Every loving king and true
Now I see in every vision
Amber tresses tied in blue
