The moon was shining bright in carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly
And now that i'm away from carolina
Won't somebody tell the moon for me:
Oh, carolina moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon, i'm pining,
Pining for the place i long to be
How i'm hopin' tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light
Say i'm all right please do!
Tell her that i'm blue an' lonely
Dreamy carolina moon!
< instrumental break >
Tell her that i'm blue an' lonely
Dreamy carolina moon!
