Oh Carolina

Sunrise through the evergreens

Another day is born

The hills take on a golden glow

A Carolina morn

I used to see you in her eyes

Now I just got to know

Oh Carolina, how could you let her go

[Chorus]

Oh Carolina, if I'd only known

Oh Carolina, I would have never gone

I thought the beauty of your hills

Would hold her here for me

I never dreamed while I was gone

You'd ever set her free

I trusted you with all my heart

And the only love I've known

Oh Carolina, how could you let her go

[Chorus: x2]

I would have never gone
