Back to the Carolina you love
Carolina that's a State
And a girl I knew
One who promised she would wait
That she would ever be true
Since I've gone I heard she's wed
It would mean ???
Over how my poor heart bled
"What is a fellow to do".
Gone are the days
That I spend with Carolina
She had the sunshine in her laughter
Just like the State they named her after
Gone are the days
The very days I'm dreaming of
And still I seem to hear her say,
Will you be back,
Will you be back,
Back to the Carolina you love?
