Oh Boys, Carry Me 'long - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Oh! Boys, Carry Me 'Long. 
Oh! carry me 'long; Der's no more trouble for me, I's gwine to roam in a happy home, Where all de niggas am free; I've work long in de fields; I've handled many a hoe; I'll turu my eye before I die. And see de sugar-caue grow. 
Chorus. Oh! boys, carry me 'long; Carry me till I die-Carry me down to de buryin'-groun'-Massa, don't you cry. 
All ober de land, I've wandered many a day, To blow de horn and mind de corn, And keep de 'possum away. No use for me now,-Bo, darkeys, bury me low; My horn is dry, and I must die Wha de 'possum nebber can go.-Chora*, 
Farewell to de boys Wid heart so happy and light, Dey sing a song de whole day long, And dance de jubba at night; Farewell to de fields Oh cotton, 'bacco and all; I's gwine to hoe in a bressed row Wha de corn grows mellow and tall.-Chorus. 
Farewell to de hills, De meadows covered wid green, Old briudle boss and de old gray boss, All beaten, broken and lean; Farewell to de dog, Dat always followed me round; Old Sancho '11 wail and droop his tail When I am under de ground.-Chorus.
