The first time I saw carrie brown She was so young and fair A voice like spring rain fallin' down and sunlight in her hair I'd never seen her face before so I asked all around Her daddy owns a grocery store and she lives in bristol town
Carrie darlin' carrie carrie brown I cry If I can't marry carrie brown believe I'd rather die
I laid my last ten dollars down Though I didn't need a thing Just to touch sweet carrie brown When she handed me my change I hung around ¡®till closin' time I scarce believed my eyes
My darlin' walkin' arm in arm With a boy named billy wise
I walked around in bristol town a bitter broken man A heart that pined for carrie brown and a pistol in my hand We met again on state street poor billy wise and me I shot him in virginia and he died in tennessee
Now I'm down in the bristol jail and all I do is cry 'cause the jury found me guilty and the judge says I must die I'm just a poor young mountain boy Ain't never been to town And I've come to ruination for the love of carrie brownTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
