Thread Name: Lyr Add: Some Carter Family songs.
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU'RE NOTHING MORE TO ME^^
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE TO ME
(Lyr. A. P. Carter, tune modified from "An Old Man's Story" by Carson Robison, 1928.)

Tonight we part forever. You're nothing more to me.
The chain that bound us is broken. Not a tear I'll shed for thee.
So break the heart of another just as you have broken mine.
Go tell her that you love her and call her fondly thine.

Here, take this ring you gave me, which was so dear to me.
Go give it to another, it's nothing more to me.
When you gaze upon the engraving, will you think one time of me?
You've broken my heart forever. Not a tear I'll shed for thee.

Goodnight, goodbye forever. You're nothing more to me.
You've broken my heart forever. Not a tear I'll shed for thee.
I must say goodbye, my darling, never more to meet again.
I will ask of you a promise: Will you meet me up in heaven?
