Song: Carry Me

Carry me, carry me over black water
In a flat-bottomed boat 
Through the reeds 
My silver, my silver
Is good as it could be 
Don't wait, sir, please ferry me 
Don't you wait, sir, please ferry me 

Here at the landing  
She comes with her lantern 
Weeping and calling my name 
Still lovely as ever 
But such pain when I see her 
Won't you, sir, please carry me 
Don't you wait, sir, please carry me 

Carry me, carry me over black water 
The hour is coming too soon 
Her feet cold and bare on the leaves 
As she searches 
And follows the moon through the trees 

I didn't come from a war  
Or from saving another 
I was only the victim of 
The paper-mill fire 
My body washed up 
Half a mile from the landing
Won't you please ferry me
Don't wait, sir, please ferry me 

Carry me, carry me over black water
In a flat-bottomed boat 
Through the reeds 
My silver, my silver
Is good as it could be 
Don't wait, sir, please ferry me 
Don't you wait, sir, please ferry me
