the carter family ii - the last thing on my mind (at san quentin) lyrics

[intro: don reid & june carter cash]
i wanna introduce to you now four lovely ladies that i know you’re gonna enjoy. they’re about ready to come out. these ladies + they’re family, which i’m sure you’re very familiar with + wrote and sang some of the first country music songs that they know today as country music, some of the first folk songs, and they’re gonna entertain you with a few songs before you meet the star of our show. mother maybelle, helen, june, and anita + the carter family!

thank you, thank you so very much. i’ve been in san quentin bеfore a couple of times. no, this is thе first time that we’ve had the opportunity to be here to all be here together and we’re very pleased to be able to sing for you and try to entertain you a bit tonight. this is mama maybelle, and i’m june carter, this is my sister anita here, and this is my sister helen. so if you will now sit back and relax, and get your hands out of each other’s pockets, we’ll pick and sing!

[verse 1]
it’s a lesson too late for the learnin’
made of sand, made of sand
in the wink of an eye my soul is turning
in your hand, in your hand

[chorus]
are you going away with no word of farewell
will there be not a trace left behind?
but i should have loved you better, didn’t mean to be unkind
you know that was the last thing on my mind

[verse 2]
you’ve got a reason aplenty for going
this i know, this i know
the weeds have been steadily growing
please don’t go, please don’t go

[chorus]
are you going away with no word of farewell
will there be not a trace left behind?
but i should have loved you better, didn’t mean to be unkind
you know that was the last thing on my mind
[verse 3]
as we walk along my thoughts are tumbling
round and round, round and round
underneath our feet a subway’s rumbling
underground, underground
