Tom T. Hall - Carter Boys lyrics



The Carter boys were born one and after another in a little old country place

I was the last and the death of my mother and I know it was a pretty bad trace

We'd get to drinking I'd do the singing and they taught me to chase girls and cuss

We played poker I'd do the dealing I was the only one we could trust

And there were six of us all together and that's how we stood all the time

Six of us all together the Carter boys were brothers of mine

We had an old car that we kept tied together with pieces of baling wire and hope

Well they knew when we got there and they knew when we left

They could tell by the noise and the smoke

Anytime the sheriff had nothing to do he'd get out and chase us around

The old women prayed the old men laughed and the middle aged people all frowned

There were six of us all together...

Daddy was a preacher and the Lord knows he tried

Gave us everything he could afford

We lost a lotta battles but daddy always said the only thing we feared was the Lord

Well as I look back through the long lean years I wonder how we ever survived

All of that hard work all of those women and all of those pistols and knives

There were six of us all together...

There were six of us all together...
