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......
