Thread Name: Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs'
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU'VE GOT TO RIGHTEN THAT WRONG
You've Got to Righten That Wrong is a gospel song from the Carters in 1940. This another hard one and seems like a Carter original. Anyone?

YOU'VE GOT TO RIGHTEN THAT WRONG- Carter Family 1940

CHORUS: You've got to righten that wrong someday
Years may pass but you cant get away
If you do wrong today the price you must pay
You've got to righten that wrong someday

Do not lie or gossip on the folks whom you know
But do good to all while you may
Did smile while their face and frown when they go
You've got to righten that wrong someday

You hear Jesus pleading to come to the fold
The time is flitting away
He will strengthen your spirit and sweeten your soul
Why not righten each wrongs today
