Carter Family-Blackies Gunman ILOveOldies 2011-03-09 | I was known as Blackie's Gunman The best of gunmen in the land I could shoot the ace of diamonds With a draw from either hand With the dice I had no equal Some of them are with us now Most of them are sadly sleepin' 'Neath the weeping willow bough Many a cowboy's camp I played in Left that night with all their gold As a sport I was broken As a sport I let it go I once loved a girl named Nellie How we loved no tough can tell But I know I'll never meet her Oh, 'twas hard to say farewell. Her eyes were like the deep blue water And her hair was golden curls And her cheeks were crimson velevt And her teeth were snow white pearls Together we lived in a cottage And our lives it was a dream And the angels they watched o're us Made our lives one happy dream.
Carter Family-Black Jack David ILOveOldies 2011-03-09 | Black Jack David came riding through the woods And he sang so loud and gaily Made the hills around him ring And he charmed the heart of a lady.

(2x) "Come go with me my pretty little miss Come go with me my honey I'll take you across the deep blue sea Where you never shall want for money." (2x) She pulled off her high-heeled shoes They were made of Spanish leather She put on those low-heeled shoes And they both rode off together. (2x) "Last night I lay on a warm feather bed Beside my husband and baby Tonight I lay on the cold, cold ground By the side of Black Jack David." (2x)

Carter Family-Buddies in the Saddle ILOveOldies 2011-03-09 | One stormy day me and my buddy Started on a roundup ride The wind and dust blew hard around us My buddy strayed far from my side. [CHORUS] We were buddies in the saddle We were buddies in our home We were buddies herding cattle We were buddies everywhere we roamed. I'll ne'er forget the day I found him He was so weak he could not speak I'll ne're forget the smile he gave me Then the poor boy fell asleep. I took him up in my saddle And carried him home across the plain My mother nursed him every moment To try to make him well again. [CHORUS] I never had a pal so near me He took the blame for everything I'd die for him just any moment And for me he'd do the same. But now my buddy's gone and left me And it's so hard to struggle on So hard to believe that he has left me I can't realize that he has gone. [CHORUS]
