Lyrics for The Carter Boys by Tom T. Hall:
| | | Artist: | Tom T. Hall |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Carter Boys | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 146 | | | | Lyrics: | The Carter boys were born one 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 trade
We'd get to drinking and I'd do the
singing, they taught me to chase girls and cuss
We'd play poker, I'd do the dealing I was the
only one we could trust
(Chorus)
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
They knew when we got there, 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
(Chorus)
Daddy
was a preacher and the Lord knows he tried, gave us everything he could afford
We lost a lot of
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 that hard work, all of those women, and
all those pistols and knives
(Chorus x 2) | | | |
