I had a taste of bitter life
 At sweet sixteen
 I was growing up too fast
 If you know what I mean
 Met an older man
 Who taught me his own way to live
 And all I had to do to keep him
 Was to give and give

 [Chorus:]
 The carousel man
 Kept me going around and round
 Carousel man always know
 That I'd stay around
 The carousel man
 Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

 I followed him around in traveling shows
 Along the main county lines
 Watching him drinking his mind away
 Not ever knowing my name at time
 Each night when the show closed down
 He used to tell me of his dreams
 He was wearing new French suits
 While I mended my torn jeans

 [Chorus:]

 Then one night in Santa Fe
 The horses stop going around
 There he was my poor rich man
 Lying on the Mexico ground
 All the sad music of his life
 Is still spinning in my mind
 The carousel starts up again
 And I found my place in life

 [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
