Carry Me Away

There was an old woman, in London she did dwell
She loved her old man dearly but another man’s wife as well
She went to the drug store to see what she could find
Something from the doctor to make her old man blind
Dim-dum-di-de-rae, carry me away

The light is growing dimmer, I cannot see the ground
I’ll go down to the seashore, I’ll jump right in and drown
She took him by the right hand, out to yonder shore
I need your help dear wifey, you’ll have to shove me o’er
Dim-dum-di-de-rae, carry me away

She backed and took a run to push her old man in
He stepped to the one side and she went headlong in
She began to scream and she began to squall
I’m sorry my dear wifey, I cannot see at all
Dim-dum-di-de-rae, dim-dum-di-de-rae, dim-dum-di-de-rae, dim-dum-di-de-rae
