The Carter Family

The Carter Family was a traditional American folk music group that recorded between 1927 and 1956. Their music had a profound impact on bluegrass, country, Southern Gospel, pop and rock musicians as well as on the U.S. folk revival of the 1960s. They were the first vocal group to become country music stars. Their recordings of songs as "Wabash Cannonball", "Can the Circle Be Unbroken", "Wildwood Flower" and "Keep On the Sunny Side" made them country standards. more »

In a vine covered shack in the mountains. 
Bravely fighting the battle of time. 
There's a dear one who's wept through life's sorrows. 
It's that silver haired daddy of mine.

[Repeat: x2]
If I could recall all the heartaches, dear ole daddy I've caused you to bear. 
If I could erase those lines from your face and bring back the gold to your hair. 
If God would but grant me the power just to turn back the pages of time. 
I would give all I own just to put a tone to that silver haired daddy of mine.
