Carter Family, The - On A Hill Lone And Gray Lyrics
On a hill lone and gray in a land far away
In a country beyond the blue sea
Where beneath that far sky went a man forth to die
For the world and for you and for me
When in memory that great hill I see (hill I see)
It was there on his side, Jesus suffered, yes, he died
To redeem a poor sinner like me
Hark, I hear the dull blow of the hammer swung low
They are nailing my Lord to the tree
With the cross he upraised while the multitude gazed
He ascended that hill lone and gray
Oh, it bows down my heart and the teardrops do start
It was there on his side, Jesus suffered, yes, he died
To redeem a poor sinner like me
Shout aloud then, my soul, let the glad tidings roll
From the land to the end of the sea (of the sea)
Where beneath that dark sky went a man forth to die
For the world and for you and for me

So beautiful when A.P. comes in on the chorus and last verse. Haunting.
Anyone know the chords for this song?
You might try Caleb Klauder. He's part of a group called The Foghorn String Band, and they do an excellent version of this song. If you leave a message he might be amenable to giving you the tablature.
Yes I know an play this song often...Capo on the 5th fret..play in C position..which os F#.Wonderful song to pic.
When was this beautiful song ?
1934 ?
@Laboiteatests Yes, recorded in 1934 in Camden, New Jersey.
For the world and for you and for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyER-XUagk4 Check out The Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle sing this song on their set here. It's the 3rd song, just great. AP and Sarah's nieces Helen, June and Anita Carter with their mom. They carried on the great legacy of the Carter family, just beautiful! All four songs are really nice!
It's hard to believe that there's anything in the world that is this good.
Back in the days, the Carters made their whole nation believe. And now they are claiming the world.
Michael Jackson IS BY FAR THE BEST SINGER EVER!"
