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
