[Chorus]

See that train rolling in from Carolina

With the one that I love so true

See that train rolling in from Carolina

And no longer do I feel so blue

 

Well it's been so long since I've seen her

And I don't even know what to say

Good times left behind

Coming off the railroad line

Will soon be here to stay

 

[Chorus]

 

Well that whistle was blowing so softly

And those doors they opened just the same

She soon caught my eye like an angel in the sky

As I stood in that Smokey Mountain rain

 

[Chorus]

 

Now I held her ever so tightly

And I told her I loved her so true

Then that sun came to shine

And then I knew that girl was mine

To have by my side through and through

 

[Chorus]

SWEET CAROLINA
