I am a boy
from the high country
and I got a little love
for the offering
I come down from the mountain

I bow to the sea
and Carolina low
I will carry thee

Gonna take you up
gonna take you round
But O your poor little pant legs
all dragging down
Did you crack your lip?
Did you skin your knee?
And Carolina low
I will carry thee

What is sealed with a handshake
is spoiled with a kiss
You gotta a ugly little mouth, boy
and it´s come to this
I´m bound for the hilltop

Gonna make it bleed
And Carolina low
I will carry thee

I am a boy
from the high country
and I got a little love
for the offering
and I got a little love
for the offering
and I got a little love
for the offering
