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 Id 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 Id 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编辑于2021/04/15更新
