The first time I saw carrie brown[00:00:00]
She was so young and fair[00:00:12]
A voice like spring rain fallin down and sunlight in her hair[00:00:30]
Id never seen her face before so I asked all around[00:00:35]
Her daddy owns a grocery store and she lives in bristol town[00:00:40]
Carrie darlin carrie carrie brown I cry[00:00:45]
If I can't marry carrie brown believe Id rather die[00:00:49]
I laid my last ten dollars down[00:00:58]
Though I didn't need a thing[00:01:20]
Just to touch sweet carrie brown[00:01:22]
When she handed me my change[00:01:24]
I hung around till closin time I scarce believed my eyes[00:01:27]
My darlin walkin arm in arm[00:01:31]
With a boy named billy wise[00:01:39]
I walked around in bristol town a bitter broken man[00:02:09]
A heart that pined for carrie brown and a pistol in my hand[00:02:13]
We met again on state street poor billy wise and me[00:02:18]
I shot him in virginia and he died in tennessee[00:02:23]
Now I'm down in the bristol jail and all I do is cry[00:02:39]
Cause the jury found me guilty and the judge says I must die[00:03:04]
I'm just a poor young mountain boy[00:03:09]
Ain't never been to town[00:03:12]
And I've come to ruination for the love of carrie brown[00:03:13]
