Good afternoon, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell and thank you for sharing the audio track of the Carter Family performing "My Old Cottage Home" with pictures from days gone by.
"My Old Cottage Home"
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am thinking tonight of an old cottage home
That stands on the brow of the hill
Where in life's early morning I once loved to roam
But now all is quiet and still
[Chorus]
Oh, my old cottage home, my old cottage home
That stands on the brow of the hill
Where in life's early morning I once loved to roam
But now all is quiet and still
[Verse 2]
Many years have gone by since in prayers there I knelt
With dear ones around the old hearth
But my mother's sweet prayers in my heart still are felt
I'll treasure them all while on earth
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
One by one they have gone from the old cottage home
On earth we shall see them no more
But we'll meet them again on that beautiful shore
Where parting will come nevermore"
