I left my cabin home, started out to roam
But I didn't like it in the mountains
Thought I'd like to stay in the city gay
But it's got the best of me

Put me on the trail to Carolina
That is where I long to be
Where the mountains high reach into the sky
There my sweetheart waits for me

Hand in hand, together in the twilight
Strolling down the trail, we two
Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
Underneath the sky so blue

That old dog of mine, let me hear him whine
When he smells a possum in the mountain
Underneath the moon, let me hum a tune
Strummin' on my old guitar

Put me on the trail to Carolina
That is where I long to be
Where the mountains high reach into the sky
There my sweetheart waits for me

Hand in hand, together in the twilight
Strolling down the trail, we two
Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
Underneath the sky so blue
