and e Lyr Req: The party at Newport (9) RE: Lyr Req: The party at Newport 16 Jun 20


Carrie was a pretty girl
Who lived in Jersey City.
She came to the Metropolis;
Now wasn't that a pity?

She met a nice young fellow
Who offered her a drink;
He promised to take her home
And then what do you think?

He had to carry Carrie to the ferry
And the ferry carried Carrie to the shore;
Now the reason he carried Carrie,
Was that Carrie couldn't carry any more.
