I've tried to find the lyrics to these two Carter Family songs. I've transcribed most of the lyrics, but there are just a few words that I can't understand. I am a big Carter Family fan; I love to sit and sing them with my grandmother, and sometimes, it helps to have the lyrics. The words I cannot understand is where the blanks are.

Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow:

My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him oh no never
Till I meet him in Heaven above

Chorus:

Oh bury me under the weeping willow, yes
Under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me

They told me that he did not love me
I could not believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
He is proving untrue to you

Repeat Chorus

Tomorrow was our wedding day
But oh Lord, oh where is he
He's gone to seek him another bride
And he cares no more for me

Repeat Chorus

Oh bury me under the ________ _______
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win Repeat Chorus

The Poor Orphan Child:

I hear a low, faint voice that says
Papa and mama's dead
And it comes from the poor orphan child
That must be clothed and fed
And it comes from the poor orphan child
That must be clothed and fed
And it comes from the poor orphan child
That must be clothed and fed

Chorus:
A.P.:
Reach 'em by the hand 'till they
Reach 'em by the hand Savior
Reach 'em by the hand 'till they
Reach 'em by the hand
Reach 'em by the hand 'till they
Reach 'em by the hand 'till they
All reach the glittering strand

Sara:
Savior, reach 'em by the hand
Savior, reach 'em by the hand
Savior, reach 'em by the hand
Till they all reach the glittering strand

They call the man his children now
Poor little boys and girls
Who once had mother's loving hands
To smooth their golden curls
Who once had mother's loving hands
To smooth their golden curls
Who once had mother's loving hands
To smooth their golden curls

Repeat Chorus

But now we see the wond'ring curls
Hang careless 'round their brow
They say to us my papa's dead
And I know mother now
They say to us my papa's dead
And I know mother now
They say to us my papa's dead
And I know mother now

Repeat Chorus

Oh Savior, every orphan bless
Wherever they may roam
Let _____ _____ ______ ______ ______ ______
___ bless the orphan home
Let _____ _____ ______ ______ ______ ______
___ bless the orphan home
Let _____ _____ ______ ______ ______ ______
___ bless the orphan home

Repeat Chorus

Also, if you think any of these lyrics are wrong, please voice your opinions. I am probably wrong. LOL
