Carolina Low

THE DECEMBERISTS · What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World 2015 · Track 08 of 13

Written by Colin Meloy

I am a boy From the high country And I've got a little love For the offering

I come down from the mountain Bow to the sea And Carolina low I will carry thee

Gonna take you up Gonna take you 'round Well your poor little pant legs Are dragging down

Did you crack your lip? Did you skin your knee? And Carolina low I will carry thee

What is sealed with a handshake Is spoiled with a kiss You got an ugly little mouth, boy It's come to this

I'm bound for the hilltop Gonna make it bleed And Carolina low I will carry thee

I am a boy From the high country And I got a little love For the offering And I got a little love For the offering And I got a little love For the offering
