Carry Me Carrie by Dr. Hook Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Second Street and Broadway, sittin' in a door way
Head held in his hands
Looked to all the world, like he was prayin'
Oh nah

[Verse 2]
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'
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
And he said come on Carrie, carry me a little farther (yeah, yeah)
Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile (oh, 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, yeah, oh no
Oh no (carry me)
[Verse 3]
Well he struggled to his feet, and staggered down the street
To the window of the five-and-dime, oh
He stood and laughed a while at his reflection, yeah
Yeah nah
Yeah

[Verse 4]
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, but she ain't no

[Chorus]
He said come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, ah, yeah, oh, oh
Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile (carry me) (where's it goin', where's it goin', yeah, yeah)
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 (yeah)
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on Carrie, carry me a little while, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
You got to carry me
Carry me! Yes, oh

[Outro]
Hey, yeah, carry me, Carrie
(You got to carry me) Carry me! Carry me!
(You got to carry me) c-c-c-c-Carrie
(So, you got to carry me) I carried you!
(Carry me, Carrie) You carry me!
(Carry me, Carrie) Yeah! Yeah!
(You got to carry me) Got to carry, got to carry
(You got to carry me)
