Tom T. Hall - The Carter Boys слова песни
The carter boys were born one 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 tradeWed get to drinking and Id do the singing, they taught me to chase girls and cussWed play poker, Id do the dealing I was the only one we could trust(chorus)And there were six of us all togetherAnd thats how we stood all the timeSix of us all togetherThe carter boys were brothers of mineWe had an old car that we kept tied together with pieces of baling wire and hopeThey knew when we got there, they knew when we left, they could tell by the noise and the smokeAnytime the sheriff had nothing to do hed get out and chase us aroundThe old women prayed, the old men laughed and the middle-aged people all frowned(chorus)Daddy was a preacher and the lord knows he tried, gave us everything he could affordWe lost a lot of 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 that hard work, all of those women, and all those pistols and knives(chorus x 2)
