Good Evening Caroline 1908

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Sep 2004

Strolling down the lane one evening,
was feeling kind of blue;
for I was wond'ring if my Carolina
was lonesome too.
Saw her standing in the garden,
she turned her head away.
When she made believe
she didn't see me there,
I never thought
I'd have the nerve to say:

Good Evening Carolina,
never saw you looking finer,
How's your Ma? How's your Pa?
But tell me first just how you are,
for you, dear, my heart is pining,
say that you'll be mine;
just take your time,
make up your mind,
Good Evening Caroline.

Good Evening Carolina,
never saw you looking finer,
How's your Ma? How's your Pa?
But tell me first just how you are,
for you, dear, my heart is pining,
say that you'll be mine;
just take your time,
make up your mind,
Good Evening Caroline.

Carrie said she'd like to marry,
she promised to be true;
then we were stealing kisses
in the moonlight, like sweethearts do.
Soon I heard somebody calling:
"Young man, it's time to roam."
Said: "Alright,"
and kissed my Caroline goodnight,
but I was singing all the whole way home:

Good Evening Carolina,
never saw you looking finer,
How's your Ma? How's your Pa?
But tell me first just how you are,
for you, dear, my heart is pining,
say that you'll be mine;
just take your time,
make up your mind,
Good Evening Caroline.

Good Evening Carolina,
never saw you looking finer,
How's your Ma? How's your Pa?
But tell me first just how you are,
for you, dear, my heart is pining,
say that you'll be mine;
just take your time,
make up your mind,
Good Evening Caroline.
