The moon was shining bright in Carolina
The night we said goodbye, so tenderly
And now that I'm away from Carolina
Won't somebody tell the moon for me?

Oh, Carolina Moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina Moon, I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be

How I'm hopin' tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light
Say I'm alright, please do

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina Moon

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina Moon
