[Verse 1:]
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
[Chorus:]
And there were six of us all together
[Verse 2:]
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
[Chorus:]
There were six of us all together
