Since many of us learned this song from the Judy Collins Fifth Album, here's the version from the Judy Collins Songbook (page 130), published by Grosset & Dunlap, 1969

CARRY IT ON
(Gil Turner)

There's a man by my side a-walkin',
There's a voice within me talkin'
There's a word that's needin' 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.

Oh, their dogs will lie there rottin',
All their lies will be forgotten,
All their prison walls will crumble,
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.

If you can't go on any longer,
Take the hand held by your brother,
Every victory going to bring another.
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.

There's a man by my side walkin',
There's a voice within me talkin'
It's a word that needs a-sayin',
Carry it on, carry it on,
Carry it on, carry it on.
