Thread Name: Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs'
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU'RE NOTHING MORE TO ME
You're Nothing More to Me is titled "Thou Art Nothing More To Me" by Meade. It was collected and published in The Frank Brown NC folk songs by Belden in 1952. Anyone?
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE TO ME- Carter Family 1938
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
Go break the heart of another Just as you have broken mine Go tell her that you love her And call her fondly thine
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
Here, take this ring that 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
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
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 Nevermore to meet again I will ask of you a promise Will you meet me up in heaven [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
