Dr Hook & The Medicine Show - "Carry Me, Carrie" From Shel´s Houseboat!

LYRICS:
Second Street and Broadway
Sittin' in a doorway
Head held in his hands
Looked to all the world
Like he was prayin'
Foot wrapped in old rag
Bottle in a brown bag
I saw him trying to stand
Then I heard the words that he was sayin'
He said
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on, Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie, carry me a little while
Well he struggled to his feet
And staggered down the street
To the window of a five and dime
He stood and laughed a while, at his reflection
And then I heard him shoutin'
Something 'bout a mountain
He could surely climb
If she was only there
To point, the right direction
But she ain't, no, but she ain't, no
He said
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on, Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little while, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
Carry me, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
Carrie, carry me
You got to carry me
You got to carry me
Carry me, Carrie
Carry me, Carrie
You got to carry me
You got to carry me

True music ❤

We're Old now Boys .

Magic

I wish I rolled the joint, ha ha ha.

I was fortunate enough to have grown up with this music still touches me soul❤

such great souls. I was so fortunate to have the pleasure of seeing Ray perform in 2009. I got to touch his hand as he swayed his arm in the crowd. Fantastic!!!

I keep coming back to this performance. Don't know why... (Yes i do) its one of the very best live performances ive ever seen/heard.... I love you Dennis Lecorriere. ❤

This is doctor hook and the medicine show a as I first got to know and love them, think of this, and the other absolute classics.

One of the best song ever sag under the influence lol

Climb to glory! Rip boy

How professional are these folks, from a complete drug induced giggle fit to playing this classic the way the just did. As someone said earlier, probably one of the most underrated songs and bands in the world. This video just shows where they can take their music. One of my favorites

I've listened to these guys since the 70's but never see them... Watching these videos changes it all... Damn but it's good!

High as a kite, and Dennis still sounds amazing here. And what a performance! Its up there with the best of em (live performance's)❤🎼🌟

They are so high...

Man what a fun band. Could you imagine partying with these guys. Got to split fixing to roll one. Peace. TX

don't you just love tottal potheads burnouts WHAT A SHAME

My knee used to hurt so much that I would just cry.

World-class! Music simply doesn't get much better than this.

That's it right there ,to khoool

Playing tunes and smokin dope, reminds me of my younger days.

One of the best bands ever

Hello people this is fuckin classic!!RIP Ray

One of my favorite bands of all time. I even turned my 7 year old niece on to them 😊😊😊

What were you on at this time?

I'm getting stoned just watching this video 😅😅😅😅 most underrated band of its time

this song reminds me of when my dad was paralysed, and his best fried carried him physially, emotionally and mentally. I miss yu Dad and Greg

👍👌

This song reminds me of my dependency to heroin,I had to rely and it made me seriously ill for years,four years clean now but this song holds so much truth

I've always loved these guys! And this tune always makes me tear-up. Especially this version.

Grew up with the music!

My music growing up as a teen....and beyond

I saw Dr Hook at the Tennessee State Fair in Nashville about 20 years ago they put on one Hell of a show it was the best concert ever 😊

you know dr.hook and the medicine show.Dr.hook waa the first album i ever owned.35 years later iwas a huge Kinks fan.had missed them pretty much.found out Dennis was living in England and ray Davies was doing solo tours.i texted on some site ...
Man wouldn't itbe greatif Dennis and ray corraberated on Something! Dennis emailed me and said David thank you for putting me in such heavy company.i love the kinks just like the Beatles.kind of made my week!

The song writing of this group was phenomenal. You knew every word of every song and sang along.

That’s pure talent!

They got stoned and never missed a beat.

Pure class,theres more talent in that one band than there has been in the charts since 2000 until today. I've been stoned for the past 20+ years and their song
"I got stoned" is an anthem for us stoners.
100% pure talent ❤

Wow!

I love the end when tge dr,s cut lise its so sublime but wow powerful

They came to my house in Ft.Walton Beach Florida in 1977 partied with my parents, smoked hash cigarettes ❤️💪🎶🎵 their music ~ woven into the fabric of my ~~~life

This would make epic METAL!
