"picture on the Wall", The original Carter Family (A.P., Maybelle and Sarah)

HTER'S A DARK AND FADED PICTURE ON THE WALL<
THAT HAS BEEN A-HANGIN' THERE FOR MANY YEAR
IT'S A PICTURE OF MY MOTHER
AND I KNOW THERE IS NO OTHER
THAT CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF MOTHER ON THE WALL

(CHORUS) (small letters indicate answer back by A.P. and Sarah))

ON THE WALL on the wall
ON THE WALL on the wall
(ALL TOGETHER)HOW I LOVE THAT DEAR OLD PICTURE ON THE WALL
TIME IS QUICKLY PASSING BY
AND I HANG MY HEAD AND C,,,U...H...R...A..I..Y (CRY)
'CAUSE I KNOW I'LL MEET MY MOTHER AFTER ALL.
