Tears In The Holston River |
On October 23rd, 1978 |
I lost a loved one and I confess, I cried |
In the joyous celebration of the lady and her music |
There were tears in the Holston River |
When Maybelle Carter died |
Then walking down that river road |
I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets |
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river side |
And I’ll just bet they turn to diamonds |
For the love that was behind 'em |
There were tears in the Holston River |
When Mother Maybelle died |
Then on January eighth, nineteen seventy-nine |
We lost Sara Carter |
And the pain was multiplied |
Down below that old Clinch Mountain |
We laid her at Mount Vernon |
There were tears in the Holston River |
When Sara Carter died |
Then walking down that river road |
I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets |
Silver beads of love sparklin' in the riverside |
And I’ll just bet they turn to diamonds |
For the love that was behind 'em |
There were tears in the Holston River |
When Maybelle and Sara died |
There were tears in the Holston River |
When Mother Maybelle and Sara Carter died |
