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
