Back To The Carolinas

Take me back to the Carolinas
I long to see my mountain home
Take me back to the Carolinas
Where I can rest no more to roam

I ran around the blue ridge mountains
Met the prettiest girl I’d ever seen
Spent our nights ‘neath swaying pine trees
I wanna go back to my mountain queen

Take me back to the Carolinas
I long to see my mountain home
Take me back to the Carolinas
Where I can rest no more to roam

I left her there in her little cabin
Promised her I’d she her soon
I’ll be home before the harvest
And the dogwoods begin to bloom

Take me back to the Carolinas
I long to see my mountain home
Take me back to the Carolinas
Where I can rest no more to roam

I rambled round and lost her memory
Went out west and forgot her name
When I see those Rocky Mountains
I long to be back home again

Take me back to the Carolinas
I long to see my mountain home
Take me back to the Carolinas
Where I can rest no more to roam
