Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Carrie, I am feeling very blue
Lonely as can be, won’t you speak to me
I’m so sorry I offended you
That I really don’t know what to do
So let’s be sweethearts as we were before
Make up with a kiss, truly this is bliss
You’re the only girl I do adore
Now I love you more, and more
Chorus
Carrie, you’re my pretty little Carrie
You’ll be my bride in June
Don’t you remember it was late in last December
That you promised to travel with me
Away out west on a honeymoon
To Oklahoma with your mama, yama, yama, yama
Gee, kid, just as sweet as you can be kid
I’m yours to the end of time
There’s not a minute that another girl is in it
With you Carrie, come join your Harry
Carrie marry Harry, is a sweet and most beautiful rhyme
- Harry, you are such a naughty tease
When I saw you flirt I was deeply hurt
And the other girls you tried to please
Just because it made me ill at ease
Now! you be good and happiness will be
With us ev’ry day, love will show the way
To the dear old orange blossom tree
There I’ll let you sing to me
