Lyrics
(Shel silverstein)
Second street and broadway Sitting in a door way Head held in his hands Looked to all the world like he was praying
Foot wrapped in an old rag Bottle in a brown bag I saw him try to stand Then I heard the words that he was saying
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 leading 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
Well he struggled to his feet And staggered down the street To the window of the five-and-dime He stood and laughed a while at his reflection
And then I heard him shoutin' Something about a mountain He could surely climb, if she was only there to point the right direction But she ain't no, no 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 leading 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.....
