I hear a low faint voice that says
Papa and mama's dead
And it comes from the poor orphan child
That must be clothed and fed
And it comes from the poor orphan child
That must be clothed and fed
And it comes from the poor orphan child
That must be clothed and fed

Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Till they all reach that glittering strand

See all the many children now
Poor little boys and girls
Who want that mother's loving hand
To smooth their golden curls
Who want that mother's loving hand
To smooth their golden curls
Who want that mother's loving hand
To smooth their golden curls

Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Till they all reach that glittering strand

But now we see those wandering curls
Hang careless 'round their brow
They say to us, my papa's dead
And I've no mother now
They say to us, my papa's dead
And I've no mother now
They say to us, my papa's dead
And I've no mother now

Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Till they all reach that glittering strand

O Savior, every orphan bless
Wherever they may roam
Bless every hand that lends them aid
And bless the orphan's home
Bless every hand that lends them aid
And bless the orphan's home
Bless every hand that lends them aid
And bless the orphan's home

Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Savior, lead them by the hand (Savior, lead them by the hand, yes, gently lead them by the hand)
Till they all reach that glittering strand

Those harmonies are incredible. There’s no getting away from how REAL the sound is either. Unbeatable.

Old man Carter is the olive in this perfect Martini called the Carter Family. What a pleasure it is to listen to this.

They really took it to another level over what Vernon Dalhart was pumping out in the early 20s.
