Lyrics
- I miss yo’ in de monin’ when ole Bob White gives his call
Caroline, Caroline
I miss yo’ at de sunset when de evenin’ shadows fall
Caroline, Caroline
I miss yo’ when de moonbeams out on de ribber shine
Oh, can’t yo’ heah me callin’ for yo’, Caroline
Chorus
Can’t yo’ heah me callin’ Caroline
It’s mah heart a callin’ dine
Lordy, how I miss yo’ gal o’ mine
Wish dat I could kiss yo’ Caroline
Aint no use now fo’ de sun to shine, Caroline, Caroline
Can’t yo’ heah mah lips a sayin’
Can’t yo heah mah soul a prayin’
Can’t yo heah me callin’, Caroline
- I miss yo’ when de Robin is a whistlin’ out his tune
Caroline, Caroline
I miss yo’ when de roses are a bloomin’ all of June
Caroline, Caroline
I miss yer hand a-stealin’ so trustin’ like in mine
Oh can’t yo’ heah me callin’ for yo’, Caroline
