The Carter Family - Picture on the Wall lyrics

[Verse 1] There's an old and faded picture on the wall That has been a-hanging there for many a-year This a picture of my mother For I know there is no other That can take the place of mother on the wall [Chorus] On the wall (on the wall) on the wall (on the wall) How I love that dear old picture on the wall Time is quickly pa**ing by and I bow my head and cry Because I know I'll meet my mother after all [Verse 2] Yes, the children all have gathered, all have gone And I have a little family of my own And I know I love them well More than any time can tell But I'll hold that dear old picture on the wall [Chorus] [Verse 3] Since I lost that dear old mother years ago There is none to which with troubles I can go As my guitar makes its chords I am praying to the Lord Let me hold that dear old picture on the wall [Chorus]
