Let Me Go Lover

msrobzombie — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:49:29 CST

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

June Carter:
Oh, let me go
Let me go
Let me go, lover

Let me be
Set me free
From your spell

You made me weep
Cut me deep
I can't sleep, lover

I was cursed from
The first day I fell

You don't want me
But you want me
To go on wanting you

How I pray that
You’ll say that
We're through

Please turn me loose
What's the use
Let me go, lover

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

You made me weep
Cut me deep
I can't sleep, lover

I was cursed from
The first day I fell

You don't want me
But you want me
To go on wanting you

How I pray that
You’ll say that
We're through

Please turn me loose
What's the use
Let me go, lover

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

The Thing

msrobzombie — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:42:20 CST

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

June Carter:
While I was walking down the road
‘Twas early Monday morn
I saw a funny-looking thing
A standing in the corn

I went right over and picked it up
And much to my surprise
Oh, I discovered a (tapping sound)
Right before my eyes

Oh, I discovered a (tapping sound)
Right before my eyes

I picked it up and ran right home
And give it to my brother
I thought he’d like to have it
Cause he’d never get another

He took one look and out a yelling
You know what happened then
Oh, he ran away from the (bell sound)
And never came home again

Oh, he ran away from the (bell sound)
And never came home again

Pick the thing on the guitar now.

I went right out and ran to town
As fast as I could go
I wrapped it up so I could mail it
To a girl I know

But when the postman saw me
He chased me out the door
Oh, I never could mail the (knocking sound)
Cause it’s against the law

I never could mail the (knocking sound)
Cause it’s against the law

I wondered all around the town
Until I chanced to meet
A friend of mine, the constable
A walking down the street

But this is what he hollered at me
When I told him my tale
Oh, get out of here with that (honking sound)
Or I’ll throw you in jail

Oh, get out of here with that (honking sound)
Or I’ll throw you in jail

Pick the thing on the piano now.

I didn’t know just what to do
I didn’t know what to say
So I give it to the feller
Who planned to marry me one day

But this is what he told me
As soon as he saw the thing
Man: I won’t marry you with that (panting sound)
So give me back my ring

He wouldn’t marry me with that (panting sound)
So I gave him back his ring

The moral of this story is
If you’re out on Monday morn
And you should see a funny-looking thing
A standing in the corn

Don’t ever stop and pick it up
That’s my advice to you
Cause you’ll never get rid of a (tapping sound)
No matter what you do

Cause you’ll never get rid of a (bell sound, knocking sound, honking sound, tapping sound)
No matter what you do

For Cryin’ Out Loud

msrobzombie — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:40:41 CST

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

June Carter:
Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me cryin’ for you
Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me feelin’ so blue

Bitin’ my nails
Pullin’ my hair
Crackin’ my knuckles
And a gettin’ nowhere

I was never one to cry much
I never could stand tears
But all that has changed
Since the day I met you, dear

I thought I needed lovin’
In the worst kind of way
But since I met you, baby
This is all I have to say

Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me cryin’ for you
Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me feelin’ so blue

Bitin’ my nails
Pullin’ my hair
Crackin’ my knuckles
And a gettin’ nowhere

The first time that I saw you
Now you gave me a thrill
There were goosebumps on my arms
Like taters in a hill

I guess I’ll live a single life
Until my dyin’ day
For since I met you, baby
This is all I’ve got to say

Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me cryin’ for you
Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me feelin’ so blue

Bitin’ my nails
Pullin’ my hair
Crackin’ my knuckles
And a gettin’ nowhere

Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me cryin’ for you
Oh, for cryin’ out loud
You got me feelin’ so blue

One thing’s for sure
Please change your ways
Or you’ll be cryin’
The rest of your days

Bashful Rascal

msrobzombie — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:39:27 CST

Lyrics Shared by: Jennifer

June Carter:
When I’m craving loving time for a kiss or two
That’s when you start talking about the things you ought to do
What’s the use of crying, I get nowhere fast with you
For you always change the subject you bashful rascal, you

Bashful rascal, you’re the one man of my dreams
Bashful rascal, a million years it seems
How fast that you first started putting moonbeams in my schemes
Now wake up and start living and you’ll know just what I mean

When we go out riding ‘neath a sky of dreamy blue
I get sentimental; crazy, baby, over you
I need your affection, that’s when I start getting blue
But you never know what’s cooking you bashful rascal, you

Bashful rascal, you’re the one man of my dreams
Bashful rascal, a million years it seems
How fast that you first started putting moonbeams in my schemes
Now wake up and start living and you’ll know just what I mean

Bashful rascal, you’re the one man of my dreams
Bashful rascal, a million years it seems
How fast that you first started putting moonbeams in my schemes
Now wake up and start living and you’ll know just what I mean

Come here you little old bashful rascal, you. (kissing sound)

Crocodile Tears

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

June Carter:
Crocodile tears (Helen and Anita: crocodile tears)
Each time they fall (each time they fall)
All: Somehow I know mean nothing at all

June:
Whenever I pine (whenever I pine)
You’re not sincere (you’re not sincere)
All: You hide behind your crocodile tears

Anita:
You turn them on and off many time many where
As long as you can cry, you don’t care

June:
A telling them lies (a telling them lies)
Down through the years (down through the years)
All: With just your eyes and your crocodile tears

June: Now you just turn them there old tears on and off just anytime or just anywhere like old waterspout. As long as you’re crying, you don’t care about nobody else, not even me. Uh-huh.

June:
A telling them lies (a telling them lies)
Down through the years (down through the years)
All: With just your eyes and your crocodile tears
And your crocodile tears

Cowboy’s Sweetheart

msrobzombie — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:40:23 CST

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

June Carter:
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and to ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the desert
Way out on the great divide

I want to hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the west
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best

(yodeling)

Well, I went across to Switzerland where all the yodelers be
Just to try to learn to yodel with the odo-lay-eee-hee
I climbed the high mountain on a clear sunny day
And met a yodeling gal in a little Swiss chalet
She taught me to yodel odo-lay-eee-hee
She taught me to yodel odo-lay-eee-hee

(yodeling)

Drink my coffee from an old tin can
While the moon goes riding high
Just a thousand miles from the city life
Way out on the great divide

I want to feel that saddle between my knees
Riding out there on the range
Just kick him in the side, make him show his step in pride
Way out on the Texas plains

I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart
That’s the type I love the best

(yodeling)

I Still Miss Someone

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

Johnny Cash:
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone

Johnny and Carter Sisters:
I never got over those blues eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

Johnny:
I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
Carter Sisters: And I still miss someone

Johnny and Carter Sisters:
I never got over those blues eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

Johnny:
I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
Carter Sisters: And I still miss someone

I still miss someone

Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes

Love you with all of my heart
We could have been married
But liquor has kept us apart

Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes
I'll never love blue eyes again

I'm sure most of you didn't know this, but this June site had a sister site dedicated to Carlene. I just found out today, that the site is no longer running due to the lack of activity and participation. Wetpaint isn't a private web hosting service so they can actually delete websites off their server with no activity. Thank you everyone who is an active member on this site and is striving to keep the memory of June alive. We have all worked very hard to maintain and keep this site active and the longer we can do that, the longer we can keep our site. Thanks everyone!

Sorry its been so long since I've written anything, I've been really busy lately! That being said, if anyone wants to volunteer their time to help me with our June Carter Newsletter that would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you are interested.

The forum doesn't seem like its getting much use, so I'm actually considering getting rid of it. It's a lot of work keeping the forum updated and running and since nobody is taking advantage of it, its a waste of my time. Let me know what you guys think about it. If you guys starting using the forum then I have no problem keeping it.

1/8/09
Since this is a new year, I moved all the news updates from 2008 into the "Archive News" section of the site. I also applied a new blue template to the site to change things up a little.

I noticed that there is a "lack" of activity on the June Carter Forum, so please post something and try to get a conversation started with other members. You all voted and said you wanted a forum, but hardly anyone is using it. If you have any suggestions for the site please don't hesitate to email me or leave comments on this site or on the forum. Hope everyone has a great 2009!

When the Roses Bloom Again

msrobzombie — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:04:29 CST

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

Johnny Cash:
In the rattle of the battle
Came a whisper soft and low
From a soldier, who had been wounded in the fray
"I am dying, Captain, dying
And I pray before I go
You’ll give your promise ere I pass away

June and Anita Carter:
Do not ask me, dear, to linger
For I know not what to say
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain
I hope your heart will not be crying
If I’m not among the dying,
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Johnny: Yes, when the roses bloom again
Beside the river
And the robin redbreast sings its sweet refrain
June and Anita: As in days of Auld Lang Syne
I'll be with you, sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

June and Anita:
Do not ask me, dear, to linger
For I know not what to say
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain
I hope your heart will not be crying
If I’m not among the dying,
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Johnny:
When the roses bloom again
Beside the river
And the robin redbreast sings its sweet refrain
June and Anita: As in days of Auld Lang Syne
I'll be with you, sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again”

Give Me the Roses While I Live

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

Helen, June, and Anita Carter:
Wonderful things of folks are said
When they have passed away
Roses adorn their narrow bed
Over the sleeping clay

Give me the roses while I live
Trying to cheer me on
Useless are flowers that you give
After the soul has gone

Let us not wait to do good deeds
Till they have passed away
Now is the time to sow good seeds
While here on earth we stay

Give me the roses while I live
Trying to cheer me on
Useless are flowers that you give
After the soul has gone

Riding 6 and a 4 street car

Yeah, it’s every time (it’s every time)

Ride 6 and a 4 street car

I can see my baby (see my baby)
Sleeping through the bars

Well, he bowed his head (he bowed his head)
And he waved both hands at me

And he bowed his head (and he bowed his head)

And he waved both hands at me

“I’m prison-bound (prison-bound)

In order to be free”

So get up rounder (get up rounder)

Let a working girl lay down

I Don’t Believe Them At All

msrobzombie — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:56:54 CST

Lyrics Shared By: Jennifer

Everyone said I’d get hurt loving you But I don’t believe them at all
They said that your kind of love wasn’t true
But I don’t believe them at all

When you went away and made me cry
I know you didn’t mean it for goodbye
Though I’m still waiting, they say you are gone
But I don’t believe them at all

Faded and gone are my dreams so they say
But I don’t believe them at all
For mine are the dreams that do not fade away
And I don’t believe them at all

Makes no difference what the people say
I know that you’ll come back to me someday
And I’ll be waiting the day you return
Cause I don’t believe them at all
