Lyrics for Carrie Brown by Steve Earle:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Carrie Brown | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 Brown | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
