Conductor hold that train for me,
I'll thank you for this courtesy
I'd really go insane
if I'd miss this train
for that Sunny Caroline.
I wrote the folks I'm coming home
down there I'm like the King of Rome
let me tell you friends
when this journey ends
Paradise you will find:

Come along come along
come along to Caroline,
for I invite you
it will delight you
when we get to our destination
you'll meet my relations
mother and brother
and a someone else who's waiting there
Let 'er go, let 'er go,
let 'er go please engineer,
Oh hear my pleading
start your train speeding
say if you know
what life is really worth
send your baggage
to the greatest spot on earth
come along come along
come along to Caroline.

Come along come along
come along to Caroline,
for I invite you
it will delight you
when we get to our destination
you'll meet my relations
mother and brother
and a someone else who's waiting there
Let 'er go, let 'er go,
let 'er go please engineer,
Oh hear my pleading
start your train speeding
say if you know
what life is really worth
send your baggage
to the greatest spot on earth
come along come along
come along to Caroline.

They never greet you with brass bands
but they extend their welcome hands
that make you feel at home
you'll ne'er want to roam,
from that sunny Caroline.
We have no cabarets down there
but you should see our country fair,
ev'ry rube in sight stays out late at night,
don't get home until nine.

Come along come along
come along to Caroline,
for I invite you
it will delight you
when we get to our destination
you'll meet my relations
mother and brother
and a someone else who's waiting there
Let 'er go, let 'er go,
let 'er go please engineer,
Oh hear my pleading
start your train speeding
say if you know
what life is really worth
send your baggage
to the greatest spot on earth
come along come along
come along to Caroline.

Come along come along
come along to Caroline,
for I invite you
it will delight you
when we get to our destination
you'll meet my relations
mother and brother
and a someone else who's waiting there
Let 'er go, let 'er go,
let 'er go please engineer,
Oh hear my pleading
start your train speeding
say if you know
what life is really worth
send your baggage
to the greatest spot on earth
come along come along
come along to Caroline.
