CARRY ME DEY GO

"Carry Me Dey Go" is a lively, popular Nigerian wedding song, arranged here for a four-part choir. Sung in Nigerian Pidgin, the lyrics are a joyful prayer asking God for guidance and blessing as a bride journeys to her new home. The words call on "Jehovah" and "Daddy" to lead the way to the "husband house."

In Nigerian wedding celebrations, whether during traditional marriage rites or the joyful reception following a church wedding, this tune is a familiar favorite. The arrangement builds a vibrant, rhythmic texture. As noted on the score, the lower voices lay down a steady groove before the sopranos and altos join in, capturing the excitement, hope, and communal celebration of a new marriage.
