CARRIE (Carrie Couldn't Carry Any More.) Words by Scott Lawrence. Music by Bob Roberts. Copyright 1901 by F.A. Mills.
Now, Carrie was a pretty girl who lived in Jersey City. She came to good old New York town; now, wasn't it a pity? She met a nice young fellow, and he offered her a drink, He promised that he'd see her home, and now what do you think!
Chorus: Well, we had to carry Carrie to the ferry, And the ferry carried Carrie to the shore,-- Now the reason that we had to carry Carrie Was Carrie couldn't carry any more.--
When muddled Carrie reached her home her escort said "Ta-ta,-- We'll meet again, sometime" said he, but just then her Papa, Appearing on the scene, exclaimed "My dear, I fear you're sick" "Not much, Papa; we've been to town; the rest I'll leave to Dick."
