We were raised in the nettles
And they showed us how they grow--
Where a poison comes to settle
And what a poisoned man comes to know
So me and Jessie, we left Ohio--
Left him bleeding on the valley floor
I felt so dirty I could hardly stand it--
Carrying Jessie on my back [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hem/carry_me_home.html ]
She said, hold on, I know you'll bury him for me
Hold on, I know you'll bury him for me
Hold on, I know you'll carry me and carry me and
Carry me home
Tell me nothing's wrong there
Tell me nothing's wrong there
Tell me nothing's wrong there
