I've always liked this old song so I recorded it with small handheld a little while ago. Alvin Pleasant "A.P." Carter and his wife, Sara Dougherty Carter, recorded "Gold Watch and Chain," a song about love lost, at a Camden, N.J., studio in 1933 shortly after they had separated. The original Carter Family group consisted of A.P. (1891–1960), Sara (1898–1979), and his sister-in-law Maybelle Addington Carter (1909–1978). All three were born and raised in southwestern Virginia, where they were immersed in mountain gospel music and shape note singing. A.P. Carter probably rewrote this song was it was first recorded in 1929 by Ephraim Woodie & The Henpecked Husbands. The Carter Family recorded between 1927 and 1956, and were the first vocal group to become country music stars. I'm playing and singing this song in the key of A.
