Oh Carolina

sunrise through the evergreens

another day is born

hills take on a golden glow

a corolina morn

i used to see it in her eyes

now i have to know

oh carolina

how could you let her go

oh carolina

if i had only known

oh carolina

i would have never gone

i though the beauty of the hills

would hold her here for me

id never dream while i was gone

you'd ever set her free

i trusted you with all my heart

and the only love id ever known

oh carolina

how could you let her go

oh carolina

if i had only known

oh carolina

i would have never gone

oh carolina

if i had only known

oh caroline

i would have never gone

i would have never gone
