Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- The moon was shining bright in Carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly
And now that I’m away from Carolina
Won’t somebody tell the moon for me, Oh!
Chorus
Carolina moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I’m pining
Pining for the place I long to be
How I’m hoping tonight you’ll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I’m all right, please do
Tell her that I’m blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
- Last night I had a dream of Carolina
I dreamed that I was back there once again
The moon was shining bright in Carolina
Shining on the same old winding lane, Oh!
