Ohne die Carter-Family hätte es wohl die Country-Music in der heutigen Form nicht gegeben.
Das Gitarrenspiel von Maybelle Carter (der sogenannte Carter-Scratch) hat die Mehrzahl der Musiker der 40 und 50 Jahre beeinflusst.
My Dixie darling - listen to the song I sing
Beneath the silver moon - with the banjo right in tune
I love no one but you - my heart is ever true
My dixie darling - my dixie queen
Going down south to have a big time
See that boy in old Caroline
Drink my booze and do as I please
For all the boys I long to squeeze
Singing a song of Dixie darling
That's where I long to be going
Down where the jelly roll growing
with my dixie dream
My Dixie darling - listen to the song I sing...
Way down below the Mason Dixon line
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
There's where the southern winds are blowing
There's where the daisies 're growing
The girls of the north in the gay finery
Whirling around in society
Singing a song of Dixie darling
Where I long to be.
My Dixie darling - listen to the song I sing...
