HARRY AND CARRIE Harry and Carrie at Folkestone And Harry thought Carrie was nice In three days the couple were dreaming Of wedding bells, slippers and rice Together they wandered one fine afternoon Along the sea-shore for a nice little spoon And far from the noise of the town Upon a big rock they sat down. Chorus: Harry and Carrie down by the rolling sea Harry thought Carrie was jolly fine company Dreaming as they sat there watching the water's blue He sighed, she sighed, and the sea sighed too. Upon a big rock, till the twilight They sat, holding each other's hands For love-making gave them more pleasure Than Negroes, or pierrots, or bands With no one to list to their story of love Excepting the sea-gulls which soared up above And quickly the sunny hours passed The tide too was coming in fast. Chorus: Harry and Carrie down by the rolling sea Harry thought Carrie was jolly fine company Funny tales he told her - oh what a lot he knew He roared, she roared, and the sea roared too. But all of a sudden the sweethearts With faces as white as a sheet Saw they were surrounded by water The tide had cut off their retreat No boatman to save them, no coast guard in sight They sat on that rock far into the night Soaked through by the sea and the rain Until the tide went out again. Chorus: Harry and Carrie down by the rolling sea Harry thought Carrie was jolly fine company Five long weary pours they sat there - oh what a nice to-do He howled, she howled, and the sea howled too.
