Judy Collins - Carry It On Lyrics






There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice within me talking
There's a voice, within me saying
Carry on, carry it on

They will tell their empty stories
Send their dogs to bite our bodies
They will lock us up in prison
Carry on, carry it on
When you can't go on any longer
Take the hand, hand of your brother
Every victory brings another
Carry it on, carry it on

Carry on, carry it on

Judy Collins Carry It On Comments
  1. H.... P....

    One of my favorite Judy Collins songs!!!

  2. J.... M....

    This song of hope kept me alive as a young gay man in the 70s in rural New Zealand. Thank you for uploading it and thank you Judy Collins for making it yours.

    Even though both Joan Baez and Judy Collins sang this song, this is clearly Judy Collins. It is on her fifth record album, which I have. They deliver the same songs entirely differently with clearly different voices.

    this is joan baez. You keep posting Baez an saying it's Judy Collins. Farina was married to Mimi Baez, Joan's sister.

    K.... H....

    This is Judy Collins! I have been listening to both singers for OVER 50 YEARS. Anyone who knows their music
    knows which is which. Two geniuses, neither is greater as a singer, though Baez made a bigger name as a political-cultural figure.

    K.... H....

    This is no Baez but Collins singing here!

    Joan's version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgCJ8UU41tw

    Thanks for posting Judy's wonderful version of Gil Turner's uplifting civil rights anthem.  Farina's haunting dulcimer adds just the right sound under her amazing voice.  I heard her sing this, with Richard playing, at a concert in Big Sur a lifetime ago. And later spent some days with Gil at his cabin.

    god i love this. thank you for whoever made this available to everyone, i love you!

    Many many thanks Johnson28316 - I've been hoping someone would upload this for a long time.
    Those last few chords by Richard Farina are really haunting.
    It's a great shame he passed so soon, & also Mimi of course.
    RIP Richard & Mimi - Thank You.
