[Lyric] Carry It On (Carolyn Hester)

[Intro]
And I wanna talk another moment about Mississippi
Uh, when I was there I happened to be travellin' with Alex Stotkin and Gil Turner
And I wanna do a song of his
He got us all to singin' it
And, uh, want you to do it, if you would
Think you know it
See you do it, let's see

[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on (Come on)

[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on

[Verse 1]
There's a man by my side walkin'
There's a voice inside me a-talkin'
There's a word needs a-sayin'
[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on

[Verse 2]
They'll tell to you their lyin' stories
Send killer dogs to bite your bodies
Though they'll lock us into prison

[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on

[Verse 3]
All their lies be soon forgotten
All their dogs are gonna lie there rottin'
All thеir prison walls will crumble

[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on

[Verse 4]
If you can't go on any longer
Well, takе the hand held out by your brother
Ev'ry victory gonna bring another
[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on

[Verse 5]
There's a man by my side walkin'
There's a voice inside me a-talkin'
There's a word needs a-sayin'

[Chorus]
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry it on, carry it on
