Back To The Carolina You Love 1914

Carolina that's a state,
and a girlie too.
One who promised that she'd wait
for somebody I knew;
since he's gone I hear she's wed
How his lonesome heart had bled
this is all the poor boy said:
"What is a fellow to do."

Gone are the days
I used to spend with Carolina
she had the sunshine in her laughter
just like the State they named her after.
Gone are the days,
the golden days I'm dreaming of
and still I seem to hear her say:
"Will you be back,
will you be back,
back to the Carolina you love."

Gone are the days
I used to spend with Carolina
she had the sunshine in her laughter
just like the State they named her after.
Gone are the days,
the golden days I'm dreaming of
and still I seem to hear her say:
"Will you be back,
will you be back,
back to the Carolina you love."

Carolina broke his heart
when she wouldn't wait
tho' he must forget the girl
he remembers the State.
Ev'ry year he loves to go
down there where the roses grow;
once he said:
"I love her so
but I'm a little too late."

Gone are the days
I used to spend with Carolina
she had the sunshine in her laughter
just like the State they named her after.
Gone are the days,
the golden days I'm dreaming of
and still I seem to hear her say:
"Will you be back,
will you be back,
back to the Carolina you love."

Gone are the days
I used to spend with Carolina
she had the sunshine in her laughter
just like the State they named her after.
Gone are the days,
the golden days I'm dreaming of
and still I seem to hear her say:
"Will you be back,
will you be back,
back to the Carolina you love."
