Biography:
The Stanley Brothers (Carter Stanley, 1925-1966, and Ralph Stanley, 1927-2016) were an American bluegrass duo originally hailing from Dickenson County, Virginia. The family soon moved to McClure, Virginia, where their parents worked a small farm in the Clinch Mountains. Music was a part of their lives from the word go, as they were able to listen to the likes of The Monroe Brothers, Mainer's Mountaineers, and other artists featured on the Grand Ole Opry radio program.

[Verse 1]
D
I left my old home, to ramble this country
G D
My mother and dad, said son don't go wrong.
G D
Remember that God, will always watch over you.
A D
And we will be waiting, for you here at home.
[Chorus]
G D
Son don't go astray, was what they both told me.
A D
Remember that love, for God can be found.
G D
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.
D A
For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown.
[Verse 2]
D
For many long years, I've travelled in sorrow.
G D
No thought of the day, when I would return.
G D
Now as I come home, and find no one waiting,
A D
the price I have paid, to live and to learn.
[Chorus]
G D
Son don't go astray, was what they both told me.
A D
Remember that love, for God can be found.
G D
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.

For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown.
