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
