Twas on one dark and stormy night
The snow was on the ground
The sailor boy was at his post
His ship was outward bound
His sweetheart standing by his side
She mourned a bitter tear
Though as he pressed her to his side
He whispered in her ear
Farewell, my own true love
This parting gives me pain
And you will be my guiding star
Till I return again
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
And then I think of you, my love
While storms are raging high
Then oh, sweetheart, remember me
Your faithful sailor boy
'Twas sad to say the ship returned
Without the sailor boy
For he had died while on the sea
His flag was held most high
Farewell, my own true love
This parting gives me pain
And you will be my guiding star
Till I return again
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
And as his shipmate steps on shore
To tell that he was dead
The letter that he gave to her
These words it sadly read
Farewell, my own true love
On earth we'll meet no more
So may we meet in heaven above
Where parting is no more
La Carter Family è stata una delle band folk più influenti della storia americana. Formatasi in Virginia negli anni '20, il gruppo era composto da A.P. Carter (autore di molte canzoni), sua moglie Sara Carter e la cugina Maybelle Carter, che suonava la chitarra a plettro con un'innovativa tecnica chiamata "Carter Scratch". La loro musica, caratterizzata da armonizzazioni vocali impeccabili e testi spesso tratti dalla vita quotidiana rurale, ha avuto un impatto profondo sul country, il bluegrass, il gospel e il folk revival degli anni '60. Tra i brani più famosi della Carter Family ricordiamo "Keep on the Sunny Side", "Wildwood Flower" e "Can the Circle Be Unbroken". La loro musica continua ad essere apprezzata e reinterpretata da artisti di diverse generazioni.
