Carter Family, The - Picture On The Wall Lyrics
There's an old and faded picture on the wall
That has been a-hanging there for many a year
'Tis a picture of my mother, for I know there is no other
That can take the place of mother on the wall
On the wall (On the wall)
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is swiftly passing by and I bow my head and cry
'Cause I know I'll meet my mother after all
Yes, the children all have gathered, all have gone
And I have a little family of my own
And I know I love them well, more than any tongue can tell
But I'll hold that dear old picture on the wall
On the wall (On the wall)
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is swiftly passing by and I bow my head and cry
'Cause I know I'll meet my mother after all
Since I lost that dear old mother years ago
There is none to which with troubles I can go
As my guitar makes its chords I am praying to the Lord
Let me hold that dear old picture on the wall
On the wall (On the wall)
On the wall (On the wall)
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is swiftly passing by and I bow my head and cry
'Cause I know I'll meet my mother after all

Carter Family, The Picture On The Wall Comments
Found this78 at a thrift store bye my house in Knoxville , it’s still out there folks!
am from christmas island, line and phoenix islands, kiribati and my teacher taught us this song ,,, nice song just remember now, 1987 i think
I have been looking for this old song far and wide,and I finally found it here with the Carter Family singing hihi tku very much,such a beautiful song and always reminds one of their Mother hihi
My Grandfather use to sing this song whenever he was drinking he would almost cry singing 😭
mine too,,,,he is 98 years old now,,,and saw the carter family play in back of a pickup truck at our county fair in 1928 in western NC where we are from,,,,,learned all papaws sons from old days,,from this to on the banks of the ohio
my daddy used to sing that when I was little I'd hear my daddy singing that song and I was little and I tried to sing it it is beautiful I found it🌷
Best song ever
love this
My father used to sing this around the house
That last part where no matter what she does, even something she likes like guitar, she only wants her mother. She's written at least two others songs about her mother and even wanting to be buried with her. She just wants to hold her mother for one last time.
This song is so special to me because My Mom used to play her guitar and sing this Her mom died when she was a very young girl it makes me cry..
Oh thanks bunny !. What a meaningful little song,how beautiful !... And I've got that little picture on the wall.......
I am singing this at a funeral soon and need the chords. Anyone know them?

We used to have a resident at the nursing home I used to work at. Back then I couldn't find it on youtube, but going through some old photos, I ended up doing another search. Thank you for posting it so I can finally hear it.
Thanks for sharing this. Love it! In the second verse, I believe it should be "more than any tongue can tell" ...
