Oh Carolina feat. Vince Gill

Emmylou Harris · Singing With Emmylou, Vol. 1 [Raven Records] [2000]

(Randy Albright/Jim Elliot/Mark D. Sanders)

Emmylou Harris & Vince Gill



Sunrise through the evergreens another day is born

The hills take on a golden glow a Carolina morn

I used to see you in her eyes now I just got to know

Oh Carolina, how could you let her go.



Oh, oh Carolina, if I'd only known

Oh, oh Carolina, I would have never gone.



--- Instrumental ---



I thought the beauty of your hills would hold her here for me

I never dreamed while I was gone you'd ever set her free.



I trusted you with all my heart and the only love I've known

Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?



Oh, oh Carolina, if I'd only known

Oh, oh Carolina, I would have never gone.



Oh, oh Carolina, if I'd only known

Oh, oh Carolina, I would have never gone

I would have never gone.
