Carolina Moon

[00:15.39] I woke up this morning to the hummin' of the engines
[00:22.49] Haulin' nature's finest from the Gulf of Mexico
[00:29.79] Riding this ol' river is peaceful but it's lonesome
[00:36.46] And it makes me wonder how the old folks are at home
[00:43.36] Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
[00:50.83] But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
[00:58.14] Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
[01:05.74] And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
[01:13.48]
[01:26.72] Just rolled through Memphis, I could hear them guitars playin'
[01:33.27] They had the blues so bad it almost broke my heart
[01:40.98] But it don't sound nothing like a band of tree frogs singin'
[01:48.10] When every now and then, they'd get in tune with grandpa's harp
[01:54.44] Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
[02:01.70] But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
[02:09.27] Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
[02:16.96] And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
[02:24.44]
[02:55.77] Now when I die boys, make me this promise
[03:02.67] You'll send my body back up North Carolina way
[03:09.53] I don't want no tombstone, just lay me next to mama
[03:17.60] And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave
[03:23.73] Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
[03:30.80] But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
[03:37.92] Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
[03:45.63] And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
[03:54.64] Yeah, the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon
[04:06.74] North Carolina moon
[04:09.61] Oh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloom
[04:16.46] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[04:23.89] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[04:30.96] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[04:38.19] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[04:45.47]
