Caroline in the mountains
The sun sets up in ribbons high
I'll never wanna get old, never wanna die

We seein' steady rain
'Bout to drive us all insane
Nearly lost a few head up in the pines

At night some of the boys
Get to talking up their girls back home
I tell 'em none's as fine as mine

The old chaplin sayin'
Come morning we'll break the range
We pushin' hard now for the plains

I close my eyes and I can see you
I close my eyes and I can feel you here

God willin' and the creek don't rise
I'll be home again before this time next year
Though I fear this fever it won't break
All my love
