second street and broadway sitting in a doorway 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
[chorus] come on carrie carry me a little farther come on carrie carry me one more mile I dont know where its 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 so now carry me a little come on carrie carry me.. a little while yeah
He stumbled to his feet and he staggered down the street to the window of a five and dime He stopped and laughed a while at his reflection Then i heard him shouting something 'bout a mountain he could surely climb, if she was only there to point the right direction
(but she aint no.. no she aint nooooo)
[chorus]
got ta' carry me! carry me carrie! got ta' carry me
