In the shadow of the pines
Lives a girl and I know that she is mine
Life's worth livin' any time

Down in Caroline.

It's no matter where I roam

she'll be waitin' there I know
And I'll find that gal of mine
down in Caroline


She is waiting there for me
Soon her smile I know I will see

She's all mine where I can be
Down in Caroline


Curly hair and eyes of blue
And a heart of love all for you
And I know her love is true

Down in Caroline

Arms that hold me close and tight

And lips that kiss me goodnight
And I know her love is right
Down in Caroline
