I am a boy From the high country And I got a little love For the offering I come down from the mountain I bow to the sea And Carolina low I will carry thee Gonna take you up Gonna take you round But O your poor little pant legs All 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 gotta a ugly little mouth, boy And 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
