[Intro]
G C G Em D
[Verse 1]
G
The first time I saw Carrie Brown
C
She was so young and fair
G Em D
A voice like spring rain fallin' down and sunlight in her hair
G C
I'd never seen her face before so I asked all around
G D G
Her daddy owns a grocery store and she lives in Bristol town
[Chorus]
G C
Carrie darlin' Carrie Carrie Brown I cry
G Em D
If I can't marry Carrie Brown believe I'd rather die
[Verse 2]
G
I laid my last ten dollars down
C
Though I didn't need a thing
G
Just to touch sweet Carrie Brown
Em D
When she handed me my change
G C
I hung around 'till closin' time I scarce believed my eyes
G
My darlin' walkin' arm in arm
D G
With a boy named Billy Wise
[Chorus]
G C
Carrie darling Carrie , Carrie Brown I cry
G Em D
If I can't marry Carrie Brown,I believe I'd rather die
[Verse 3]
G C
I walked around in Bristol town a bitter broken man
G Em D
A heart that pined for Carrie Brown and a pistol in my hand
G C
We met again on State Street poor Billy Wise and me
G D G
I shot him in Virginia and he died in Tennessee
[Chorus]
G C
Carrie Darling Carrie , Carrie Brown I cry
G Em D
If I can't marry Carrie Brown , I believe I'd rather die
[Verse 4]
G C
Now I'm down in the Bristol jail and all I do is cry
G Em D
'Cause the jury found me guilty and the judge says I must die
G
I'm just a poor young mountain boy
C
Ain't never been to town
G D G
And I've come to ruination for the love of Carrie Brown
[Chorus]
G C
Carrie darling Carrie, Carrie Brown I cry
G Em D
If I can't marry Carrie Brown, I believe I'd rather die
