Carter Family - Two Sweethearts

(verse 1)

G

A crowd of young fellas one night at a ball

C G

Were telling of sweethearts they'd had

C G

All seemed hardy except one lad

D D7 G

Who seemed downhearted and sad

(verse 2)

Come join us Ned his comrades then said

Surely some girl has loved you

Then raising his head proudly he said

I'm in love with two

(chorus)

G

One has hair of silver gray

C G

The other one is just like gold

C G

One is young and youthful too

D D7

The other is aged and old

G

But dearer than life are they both to me

C G

From neither would I part

C G

One is my mother God bless her I love her

D D7 G

The other one is my sweetheart

(verse 3)

My sweetheart is a poor working girl

Whom I'm determined to wed

Father says no it will never be so

You must marry an heiress instead

(verse 4)

Mother was young she knows how it is

When father met her she was poor

Ned don't fret she'll be your wife yet

For he will consent I am sure

(chorus)

G

One has hair of silver gray

C G

The other one is just like gold

C G

One is young and youthful too

D D7

The other is aged and old

G

But dearer than life are they both to me

C G

From neither would I part

C G

One is my mother God bless her I love her

D D7 G

The other one is my sweetheart
