Caroline in the mountains - sun sets up in ribbons high
I don't never wanna get old - never wanna die...

Been seein steady rain - bout to drive us all insane
Clearly lost a few head up in the pines


At night some of the boys get to talking up their girls back home
I tell them nones as fine as mine
The old chaplain saying: 'come morning we'll break the reins...

'We pushing hard now for the plains'

I close my eyes ... I can see you I close my eyes ... I can feel you here


God Willin- and the creek don't rise: I'll be home again before this time next year, though I fear this fever it won't break (unintelligible)
