LYRICS: Second Street and Broadway Sittin' in a doorway Head held in his hands Looked to all the world Like he was prayin' Foot wrapped in old rag Bottle in a brown bag I saw him trying to stand Then I heard the words that he was sayin' He said Come on, Carrie Carry me a little farther Come on, Carrie Carry me one more mile I don't know where it's leadin' to But I know I can make it if I lean on you So come on, Carrie Carry me a little I carried you, now carry me a little Come on, Carrie, carry me a little while Well he struggled to his feet And staggered down the street To the window of a five and dime He stood and laughed a while, at his reflection And then I heard him shoutin' Something 'bout a mountain He could surely climb If she was only there To point, the right direction But she ain't, no, but she ain't, no He said Come on, Carrie Carry me a little farther Come on, Carrie Carry me one more mile I don't know where it's leadin' to But I know I can make it if I lean on you So come on, Carrie Carry me a little I carried you, now carry me a little Come on, Carrie Carry me a little while, yeah Carry me, Carrie Carry me, yeah Carry me, Carrie Carrie, carry me You got to carry me You got to carry me Carry me, Carrie Carry me, Carrie You got to carry me You got to carry me
They have always reminded me of a band of musicians that the number # 1 priority was fun. The awesome over the top music was just a bonus. Thank you for the trip!
Yes great song wherever they perform it but Shel's houseboat version is the gold standard IMHO. Who is the guy on the houseboat who makes a joke and slaps his own face - he has a lot of personality and is obviously a great backup vocalist.
LYRICS:
Second Street and Broadway
Sittin' in a doorway
Head held in his hands
Looked to all the world
Like he was prayin'
Foot wrapped in old rag
Bottle in a brown bag
I saw him trying to stand
Then I heard the words that he was sayin'
He said
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on, Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie, carry me a little while
Well he struggled to his feet
And staggered down the street
To the window of a five and dime
He stood and laughed a while, at his reflection
And then I heard him shoutin'
Something 'bout a mountain
He could surely climb
If she was only there
To point, the right direction
But she ain't, no, but she ain't, no
He said
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on, Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little while, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
Carry me, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
Carrie, carry me
You got to carry me
You got to carry me
Carry me, Carrie
Carry me, Carrie
You got to carry me
You got to carry me
Jjjjjjj

The most underrated band of all time. The musicianship and talent in this band is unreal. Sad most of them gone. R.I.P to all lost members.❤❤❤😢😢😢
One of their best songs and the harmonies are wonderful.
They have always reminded me of a band of musicians that the number # 1 priority was fun. The awesome over the top music was just a bonus. Thank you for the trip!
Such an underrated song. Dr. Hook should be in the rock and roll hall of fame! Such an amazing, funny, happy bunch of guys
I never get sick of hearing them
I like the version they did at Shell's boathouse even better.
Well, they did get on the cover of the Rolling Stone !
@@colinbm2010 unfortunately only characterturr
I miss him so
With this song they almost make it a spiritual experience
Grab your coats this will give you Chills !!!!! Most talented group of people ever put together.
Lord how great they are, they are still alive in my ❤️
I was gonna say that this was the most underated band of the 70s...but, in retrospect, I believe that this is the most underrated band of any era.
shels houseboat session of this song is just superb
Shel had to be a special person!
Because they had Jay David to fill out the harmonies.
Yes I agree love that version, sounds just like the record. So much emotion
Yeh they had so much fun n chemistry it's a great loss that we fans will never see it ever again with any other bands these days love dr hook
Gahhhhh. This man. I just have no words. 😈
Nothing but pure real unfiltered talented band of all time! Nothing like it ever again. Rip you sexy pirate man; Ray Sawyer!
wow!!!!!! just wow!!!! fantastic!!!!
They were soo High -
But an amaZing part of my favorite Growing up Music !!
RIP Ray
They get so deep into this song! I just love listening to Dennis its my go to when I need to get away.
Seen this band in this era. That’s why I live in the past.
A wonderful song full of passion... Dennis' singing ability at its best
This song is so soulful...their voice rifts are ridiculously good.So in sinc with each other....Precocious madness..yet so tight...
Now that's the beautiful voice of Dennis with the great harmony of Ray. Magical . Timeless and classic.
👣Amazing Performance👣✌👣☝️
Fantastic, brilliant version of Carry me, Carrie 👍
Shit I love these guys Ray touches Dennis and he let's it out amazing.
I damn near went into convulsions with this one. In-friggin'-credible!!!!

Yes great song wherever they perform it but Shel's houseboat version is the gold standard IMHO. Who is the guy on the houseboat who makes a joke and slaps his own face - he has a lot of personality and is obviously a great backup vocalist.
That guy is the drummer John "Jay" David.
Thank you! I thought that might be him but wasn't sure.
Der Song ist klasse.
LG Manfred
I prefer when he sang it on Shels house boat. His heavy breathing & sweating & sexy sultry eyes made my hormones race ❤
좋아하는 노래지만 볼때마다. 거시기하네 ㅋㅋㅋ열정이 너무 넘치나
By far they burned Carrie up peace ✌️
The harmonies aren't quite the same without Jay David.
Who's that drummer?
The drummer is John Wolters, (1973-1982, 1983-1985; died 1997)
@@RonjasDrHookChannel Thanks for letting me know. He was great. Seems like most of the old Medicine Show is gone. RIP guys, thanks for the music.
Can you say Mushrooms or maybe Quaaludes
Maybe both ☮️
Were these people known to take drugs? They seem drugs.
I always wonder why Sawyer felt it necessary to always put his hands on Dennis??? It almost makes me throw up.
but i bet you wish you could
why? why would it make you sick?
for she want to too
Because they were always stoned
Because Dennis is gorgeous!! I would've been putting my hands on him all the time too!!😝
