There's a ramshackle shack in old Caroline it's callin' me back to the woman of mine
Guess if I had the wings of a beautiful dove
Don't you know I'd fly away to the woman I love

When the whippoorwills called on the hills far away
We're gonna sing a little song we're gonna hear them say
My love for you will never ever die we bid everything sail away to the by sweet and by
[ steel - harmonica ]
Those two brown eyes that sparkle with love came down to me from heaven above
Guess if I had the wings of a beautiful dove
Don't you know I'd fly away to the woman I love
There's a ramshackle shack...
