The Carter Family

The Carter Family was a traditional American folk music group that recorded between 1927 and 1956. Their music had a profound impact on bluegrass, country, Southern Gospel, pop and rock musicians as well as on the U.S. folk revival of the 1960s. They were the first vocal group to become country music stars. Their recordings of songs as "Wabash Cannonball", "Can the Circle Be Unbroken", "Wildwood Flower" and "Keep On the Sunny Side" made them country standards. more »

Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin' 
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor 
Well I was born in a boomer shack bout a half mile from town 
Papa was a driller on a wildcat crew and my mama never was around 
I learn to cuss when I was two and fight when I was three 
And by the time I was five there was no kid alive could ever get the best of me 
Born to be a roughneck... 
[ banjo ] 
Well I started workin' like a regular man when I was just about knee high 
Skinning the knuckles with my two bare hands but they never heard me cry 
I remember walkin' down the road and hearin' somebody say 
He was born to live a rougneck's life and he's never gonna change his ways 
Born to be a roughneck... 
Born to be a roughneck...
