Carter Family, The - Little Log Cabin By The Sea Lyrics






There is a precious volume all fingerworn and old
In that little log cabin by the sea
It is the old, old Bible, more precious now than gold
It's the Bible that my mother gave to me

It's the old precious Bible, blessed Bible
That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)
It's that precious, precious Bible
That blessed, blessed Bible
The Bible that my mother gave to me

How often I have listened to the tempest howl and rage
'Round that little log cabin by the sea
My mother read of Jesus, who walked upon the waves
How Jesus calmed the stormy Galilee

It's the old precious Bible, blessed Bible
That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)
It's that precious, precious Bible
That blessed, blessed Bible
The Bible that my mother gave to me

How often, oh, how often she read that glowing word
With the message from the precious word above
It told of faithful Daniel, who trusted in the Lord
While she led me in the pathway that she trod

It's the old precious Bible, blessed Bible
That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)
It's that precious, precious Bible
That blessed, blessed Bible
The Bible that my mother gave to me

There is no other volume so precious as this book
It tells me how to live and how to die
It tells me of that city, oh, wondrous, wondrous book
And that I'll meet the loved ones bye and bye

It's the old precious Bible, blessed Bible
That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)
It's that precious, precious Bible
That blessed, blessed Bible
The Bible that my mother gave to me

    je suis français et j'adore la carter family, leur musique et leurs voix sont puissantes énergiques et ont influencé le blue grass,le country western et par la suite le rockabilly. la carter family est toujours vivante.

    Listen to it... how A.P drifts in and out, adding those fabulous, ragged harmonies! It was love at first sight for me when I first heard this stuff, you may believe me on that..

    Now that's the kind of religious music that I want to hear in church instead of the "shove religion down your throat" kind of crap I hear churches around here.

    This is one of the first numbers Charlie and I sang. Everyone expressed wonderment at the great song we had found. Silly people. How proud AP "Doc" looks. Thanks once again for posting The Original Carter Family. " One day people will want to know where the Carters came from" AP Carter.
