Big town you lured me
Big town you cured me 
Tho' others hate to say goodbye to you
I'm leavin' but I'll never sigh for you
Big town you robbed me of ev'ry joy I knew

Where is the song I had in my heart
That harmonized with the pines
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
Cryin' for the Carolines
Where is the brook that kisses the lane
Covered with "Glory Vines"
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
I'm crying for the Carolines
How can I smile mile after mile
There's not a bit of green here
Birdies all stay far far away
They're seldom ever seen here
Where is the gal that I used to meet
Down where the pale moon shines
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
I'm crying for the Carolines

Small town you've sold me
Small town you'll hold me
You said that I'd have nothing but regret
I've cried the blues to ev'ry one I've met
Small town you gave me all that I'll ever get
