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
