Standing on a hillside down in Caroline A gentle breeze carries me down along the pines Cabin in the distance no clouds up in the sky I'll stay with you forever just tell me you'll be mine When I'm at your side dear nothing on my mind Except for you beside me until the end of time Say that you'll be mine and nevermore you'll roam Never to be lonesome I've found my happy home In the sweet southern pines Way down in old Caroline My little cabin home no longer will I roam Just say that you'll be mine If I ever ramble if I ever roam If mountains lie between us and wayward winds do blow I'll rest easy knowing in the morning I'll be gone With a one way ticket bound for the place that I belong In the sweet southern pines Way down in old Caroline My little cabin home no longer will I roam Just say that you'll be mine In the sweet southern pines Way down in old Caroline My little cabin home no longer will I roam That little cabin home never gonna roam
