Here are the lyrics from Issue 45 (May 15, 1964) of Broadside Magazine: CARRY IT ON (Gil Turner) There's a man by my side a-walkin' There's a voice inside me a-talkin' There's a word needs a-sayin' Carry it on, carry it on, Carry it on, carry it on. They will tell their lyin' stories Send their dogs to bite our bodies They will lock us in their prison Carry it on, carry it on, Carry it on, carry it on. All their lies be soon forgotten All their dogs - dogs are gonna lie there rottin' All their prison walls will crumble Carry it on, carry it on, Carry it on, carry it on. If you can't - can't go on any longer Take the hand - hand held by your brother Every victory gonna bring another Carry it on, carry it on, Carry it on, carry it on. ©1963 Melody Trails, Inc., NY NY Broadside #45
