Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show Carry me, Carrie Lyrics:
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 an old rag,
Bottle in a brown bag,
I saw him try to stand.
Then I heard the words that he was sayin', yeah.

He said, "Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, yeah.
Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile.
(Ach, no, no, no.)
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, yes.
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 a five-and-dime.
He stood and laughed a while at his reflection.

And then I heard him shoutin',
Somethin' 'bout a mountain,
He could surely climb,
If she was only there to point the right direction.

But she ain't no, no she ain't, no.

He said, "Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther.

Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile.
(Carry me, Carrie.)
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."

Yeah, Carry me, Carrie.
Got to carry me.
Carry me!

Yes, oh.

[Scream.]

Carry me, Carrie.
(You got to carry me.)
Carry me.
(You got to carry me.)
You g-g-g-ot to...
You got to carry me.
I carried you.
(Carry me, Carrie.)
Carry me.
(Carry me, Carrie.)
My God.
You got to carry me.
You got to carry me.
