In the ahadow of the pain
There's a girl and I know she's mine
Life's worth living any time
Down in Caroline

And no matter where I go
She'll be waiting there I know
And I'll find, girl of mine
Down in Caroline

Curly hair, and eyes of blue
A heart of gold, that's all for you
And I know she is true
Down in Caroline

* Refrain

She is waiting there for me
Soon her smile of love I'll see
She's all mine when I can be
Down in Caroline

* Refrain

Arms that hold me close and tight
Lips that kiss me goodnight
A pair of eyes blue and bright
Down in Caroline

* Refrain
