In 2000, Bear Family records released In the Shadow of Clinch Mountain, a 12 volume CD compilation of all of the Original Carter Family's commercial recordings. Along with the CD's is an extensive hardcover book which includes all of the song lyrics as transcribed by Phil Wells. The lyrics are printed in the same order as the songs appear on the CDs. However, there is no index to the CDs or the song lyrics. Or, rather, was. This table gives the number of the CD on which each song appears and the page on which a song's lyrics are printed.
The column Key is for those who'd like to play along with the record. Maybelle Carter is well-know for having played most songs out of the C position after judicious use of the capo and/or retuning her instrument down a few half-steps. The notation here is for a guitar in standard tuning. Each entry is of the form Cn, Gn, or E0, where C indicates the C position, G indicates the G position, and n indicates the fret on which a capo should be placed. E0 is the E position with no capo.
