hmmm, Marian... I wouldn't necessary interpret "carry me away" to suggest death or dying... it may simply be a literary device to say "get me out of here NOW".
She's obviously unhappy IN the factory...and whether the song suggests a real plan to leave & get married, or just wishful thinking, I couldn't say.
Hedy West's version is less ambiguous.
