From The Old Grey Whistle Test Show.
Carry Me, Carrie" is the third single by American country rock band Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, released in 1972. It appeared on the group's second album, Sloppy Seconds.
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein.
The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook.

LYRICS:
Second Street and Broadway
Sittin' in a doorway
Head held in his hands
Looked to all the world
Like he was prayin'
Foot wrapped in old rag
Bottle in a brown bag
I saw him trying to stand
Then I heard the words that he was sayin'
He said
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on, Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie, carry me a little while
Well he struggled to his feet
And staggered down the street
To the window of a five and dime
He stood and laughed a while, at his reflection
And then I heard him shoutin'
Something 'bout a mountain
He could surely climb
If she was only there
To point, the right direction
But she ain't, no, but she ain't, no
He said
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on, Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie
Carry me a little while, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
Carry me, yeah
Carry me, Carrie
Carrie, carry me
You got to carry me
You got to carry me
Carry me, Carrie
Carry me, Carrie
You got to carry me
You got to carry me
Jjjjjjj

The most underrated band of all time. The musicianship and talent in this band is unreal. Sad most of them gone. R.I.P to all lost members.❤❤❤😢😢😢
One of their best songs and the harmonies are wonderful.
They have always reminded me of a band of musicians that the number # 1 priority was fun. The awesome over the top music was just a bonus. Thank you for the trip!
With this song they almost make it a spiritual experience
Such an underrated song. Dr. Hook should be in the rock and roll hall of fame! Such an amazing, funny, happy bunch of guys
I never get sick of hearing them
I like the version they did at Shell's boathouse even better.
Well, they did get on the cover of the Rolling Stone !
@@colinbm2010 unfortunately only characterturr
I miss him so
Now that's the beautiful voice of Dennis with the great harmony of Ray. Magical . Timeless and classic.
Lord how great they are, they are still alive in my ❤️
Grab your coats this will give you Chills !!!!! Most talented group of people ever put together.
Gahhhhh. This man. I just have no words. 😈
Nothing but pure real unfiltered talented band of all time! Nothing like it ever again. Rip you sexy pirate man; Ray Sawyer!
I was gonna say that this was the most underated band of the 70s...but, in retrospect, I believe that this is the most underrated band of any era.
Yeh they had so much fun n chemistry it's a great loss that we fans will never see it ever again with any other bands these days love dr hook

shels houseboat session of this song is just superb
Shel had to be a special person!
Because they had Jay David to fill out the harmonies.
Yes I agree love that version, sounds just like the record. So much emotion

Holy screamin hippies...” ... carry me a little while...”
just brilliant, they broke up far too early
Amoooo! Como não amar! ❤❤❤
fab.............
대단한 드러머다
Like it
I prefer when he sang it on Shels house boat. His heavy breathing & sweating & sexy sultry eyes made my hormones race ❤
at 4.oo gettimg carrie away
Yes great song wherever they perform it but Shel's houseboat version is the gold standard IMHO. Who is the guy on the houseboat who makes a joke and slaps his own face - he has a lot of personality and is obviously a great backup vocalist.
That guy is the drummer John "Jay" David.
Thank you! I thought that might be him but wasn't sure.
좋아하는 노래지만 볼때마다. 거시기하네 ㅋㅋㅋ열정이 너무 넘치나
Der Song ist klasse.
LG Manfred
By far they burned Carrie up peace ✌️
The harmonies aren't quite the same without Jay David.
Who's that drummer?
The drummer is John Wolters, (1973-1982, 1983-1985; died 1997)
@@RonjasDrHookChannel Thanks for letting me know. He was great. Seems like most of the old Medicine Show is gone. RIP guys, thanks for the music.
Can you say Mushrooms or maybe Quaaludes
Maybe both ☮️
Were these people known to take drugs? They seem drugs.
I always wonder why Sawyer felt it necessary to always put his hands on Dennis??? It almost makes me throw up.
but i bet you wish you could
why? why would it make you sick?
for she want to too
Because they were always stoned
Because Dennis is gorgeous!! I would've been putting my hands on him all the time too!!😝
