lirik lagu steve earle – carrie brown
carrie, darlin’, carrie, carrie brown, i cry
if i can’t marry carrie brown, believe i’d rather die
believe i’d rather die, boys, believe i’d rather die
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
they said, “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
believe i’d rather die, boys, 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
carrie, darlin’, carrie, carrie brown, i cry
if i can’t marry carrie brown, believe i’d rather die
believe i’d rather die, boys, believe i’d rather die
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
carrie, darlin’, carrie, carrie brown, i cry
if i can’t marry carrie brown, believe i’d rather die
believe i’d rather die, boys, believe i’d rather die
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 brown
carrie, darlin’, carrie, carrie brown, i cry
if i can’t marry carrie brown, believe i’d rather die
believe i’d rather die, boys, believe i’d rather die
