Carry Me Carrie ~ Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show Revisited
second street and Broadway
sittin’ in a doorway
head held in his hands
looked to all the world like he was prayin’
foot wrapped in a ol’ rag
bottle in a brown bag
I saw him try to stand
then I heard the words that he was sayin’
come on carrie, carry me a little farther
come on carrie, carry me one more mile
I don’t know where it’s leadin’ to
but I know I can make it if I lean on you…
so, come on carrie, carry me a liitle
I carried you, now carry me a little
come on carrie, carry me one more mile
well, he struggled to his feet
and staggered down the street
to the window of a five-and-dime
he stood and laughed a while at his reflection
and then I heard him shoutin’
somthin’ ‘bout a mountain
he could surely cilmb
if she was only there to point
the right direction
but she ain’t, no
she ain’t, no
he said
come on carrie, carry me a little farther
come on carrie, carry me one more mile
I don’t know where it’s leadin’ to
but I know I can make it if I lean on you…
so, come on carrie, carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
come on carrie, carry me a little while.
carry me, carrie
you’ve got to carry me
I carried you
carry me carrie…
