Once I had a sweetheart
A sweetheart brave and true
His hair was dark and curly
His loving eyes were blue
He told me that he loved me
And he often proved it so
And he often came to see me
When the evening sun was low
But they took him away
To this awful German war
And when he came to say goodbye
My heart did overflow
He said, goodbye, little darling
To France I must go
He takes a golden finger ring
And he placed it on my hand
Said, remember me, little darling
When I'm in no man's land
He promised he would write to me
That promise he kept true
And when I read this letter from him
I pray the war is through
The second letter I got from him
The war was just ahead
The third one, wrote by his Captain
My darling dear was dead
I'll keep all his letters
I'll keep his gold ring, too
And I'll always live a single life
For the soldier who was so true
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.
