Just to touch [G] a wee Carrie Brown, [Em] when she handed me [D] my change

[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ I walked around the rest of the town, a bit of [C] broken land

[Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ I'm an imprisoned jail, all I do [C] is cry
Because the jury [G] found me guilty and [Em] the judge says I [D] must die _

I come to [G] a ruination for [D] the love of [G] Carrie Brown
