Little carly sat on the side of the road, the sun's heat on her back., where she carried a heavy load.
Today was her birthday, six years old, big girl now, she was off in search of gold.
Her daddy wouldn't miss her at all, he hadn't said one nice thing, since last fall.
Her mummy might weep for the TV, but behind scenes, carly thought, she'd be glad she was rid of me.
Carly thumbed her way to the next state, she got a lot of questuions asked her, they'd ask why she was out so late.
One woman who pickec carly up one night, sat Carly down, and said she could make things right.
Carly didn't believe a word she said, but she gratefully drank her milk, and ate her bread.
The woman said her name was Fiona, confessed to carly a secret, that she, too was a loner.
Fiona said to carly, hears a deal, you keep me entertained, and I'll give you every meal.
Carly agreed and went along, Fiona made secret phone calls, and assured carly nothing was wrong.
Soon they reach thye light of New York City, by this time carly was filthy, what a child, easy to get pity.
Well carly had mixed with the wrong sort, Fiona was a lure, and carly was caught.
Forced into sex and drugs carly longed for home, she cried each night, feeling so alone.
After a while the men grew bored of carly, threw her from an apartment block, carly broke her back, now her walking would stop.
Carly managed to get home, her daddy happy to see her again, her mother feigned delight, then killed carly in a sick and twisted game.
Little carly only ever wanted more from life, to find that pot of gold, little carly, should have done as she was told.
