The Hills of Caroline feat. Alison Krauss, Billy T

(Vince Gill)

Vince Gill & Alison Krauss & Billy Thomas



I was born in Guilford county way back up in the pines

It's where I hold the sweetest mem'ries in the hills of Caroline

My daddy wasn't much of nothin' he spent his life doin' time

Mama learned me about Jesus in the hills of Caroline.



--- Instrumental ---



Met a girl her name was Havvie fair and tender sweet and kind

She showed me how to love a woman in the hills of Caroline

I always thought that we would marry one sweet day she would be mine

But Havvie's gone to live with Jesus in the hills of Caroline.



--- Instrumental ---



If I should die before tomorrow

Just one request if you don't mind

Just burry me right next to Havvie in the hills of Caroline

Just burry me right next to Havvie in the hills of Caroline.



--- Instrumental to fade ---
