| I left my cabin home, started out to roam
|
| Thought I didn’t like it in the mountains
|
| Thought I’d like to stay in the city gay
|
| But it’s got the best of me
|
| Put me on the trail to Carolina
|
| That is where I long to be
|
| Where the mountains high reach into the sky
|
| There my sweetheart waits for me
|
| Hand in hand together in the twilight
|
| Strolling down the trail, we two
|
| Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
|
| Underneath the sky so blue
|
| That old dog of mine, let me hear him whine
|
| When he smells a 'possum in the mountains
|
| Underneath the moon, let me hum a tune
|
| Strummin' on my old guitar
|
| Put me on the trail to Carolina
|
| That is where I long to be
|
| Where the mountains high reach into the sky
|
| There my sweetheart waits for me
|
| Hand in hand together in the twilight
|
| Strolling down the trail, we two
|
| Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
|
| Underneath the sky so blue |
