Carolina Mountain Dewe

Somewhere in the mountains, in northern Alabama

The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee

And somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma

There's the Alabama dreamer, that same man from Tennessee

Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently

And knocks at her door but she won't give in

But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted

She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again

Carolina, dreamin' lonely, Carolina, can't you see

You will always be the lady that I dream of holding tight

That I kiss and tell goodnight, Carolina Mountain Dewe

Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway

The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound

His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina

And she's waiting with the baby from the love

Of the only man to lay her down

Carolina, dreamin' lonely, Carolina, can't you see

You will always be the lady that I dream of holding tight

That I kiss and tell goodnight, Carolina Mountain Dewe

Carolina, I love you
