Song title: Steve Earle - Carrie Brown

Edit By: 216.73.216.128

The first time I saw carrie brown
She was so young and fair
A voice like spring rain fallin down and sunlight in her hair
Id never seen her face before so I asked all around
Her daddy owns a grocery store and she lives in bristol town

Carrie darlin carrie carrie brown I cry
If I cant marry carrie brown believe Id rather die

I laid my last ten dollars down
Though I didnt need a thing
Just to touch sweet carrie brown
When she handed me my change
I hung around till closin time I scarce believed my eyes
My darlin walkin arm in arm
With a boy named billy wise

I walked around in bristol town a bitter broken man
A heart that pined for carrie brown and a pistol in my hand
We met again on state street poor billy wise and me
I shot him in virginia and he died in tennessee

Now Im down in the bristol jail and all I do is cry
cause the jury found me guilty and the judge says I must die
Im just a poor young mountain boy
Aint never been to town
And Ive come to ruination for the love of carrie brown
