Ev'ryone's excited in the town
where I was born,
just because they know
I'm coming home tomorrow morn
to Caroline, I've been away
a long, long time.
Kinda thought that I'll go back
and marry her someday
now I've bought the wedding ring,
and folks, I want to say
banjos will be strumming
when they see me coming
and I'll start a humming
humming just because I know my

Mind's made up to marry Carolina
I'll take the train for home today... Say!
I'm tickled to death to get away,
and once I make up my mind
it's hard to change it, I find,
I long for, I'm strong for
the ginger cake my gal can make,
ole mammy taught her how to bake,
when I get back
I know just where to find her,
She's waiting by the melon vine,
and she'll be mine,
I haven't saved a penny
but I don't regret it,
'cause we can furnish up a home on credit,
my mind's made up.. yes
all made up to marry Caroline.

Oh my mind's made up to marry Carolina
I'll take the train for home today... Say!
I'm tickled to death to get away,
and once I make up my mind
it's hard to change it, I find,
I long for, I'm strong for
the ginger cake my gal can make,
ole mammy taught her how to bake,
when I get back
I know just where to find her,
She's waiting by the melon vine,
and she'll be mine,
I haven't saved a penny
but I don't regret it,
'cause we can furnish up a home on credit,
my mind's made up.. yes
all made up to marry Caroline.

When they here I'm coming,
ev'rybody in the town,
will be at the station
and my sweetie will come down,
to welcome me.
Imagine what a time there'll be,
heard they made a lot of changes
while I was away,
and I'm goin' to see them all
before I'm there a day,
guess my dad and mother,
sister and my brother
smile and tell each other
that they're mighty glad to know my
