Tom T. Hall - Carter Boys слова песни
The Carter boys were born one and after another in a little old country placeI was the last and the death of my mother and I know it was a pretty bad traceWe`d get to drinking I`d do the singing and they taught me to chase girls and cussWe played poker I`d do the dealing I was the only one we could trustAnd there were six of us all together and that`s how we stood all the timeSix of us all together the Carter boys were brothers of mineWe had an old car that we kept tied together with pieces of baling wire and hopeWell they knew when we got there and they knew when we leftThey could tell by the noise and the smokeAnytime the sheriff had nothing to do he`d get out and chase us aroundThe old women prayed the old men laughed and the middle aged people all frownedThere were six of us all together...Daddy was a preacher and the Lord knows he triedGave us everything he could affordWe lost a lotta battles but daddy always said the only thing we feared was the LordWell as I look back through the long lean years I wonder how we ever survivedAll of that hard work all of those women and all of those pistols and knivesThere were six of us all together...There were six of us all together...
