Lyrics

Where is the song I had in my heart
That harmonized with the pines
Anyone can see what’s troublin’ me
I’m cryin’ for the Carolines
Where is the brook that kisses the lane
Covered with “Glory Vines”
Anyone can see what’s troublin’ me
I’m cryin’ for the Carolines
How can I smile mile after mile
There’s not a bit of green here
Birdies all stay far, far away
They’re seldom ever seen here
Where is the gal that I used to meet
Down where the pale moon shines
Anyone can see what’s troublin’ me
I’m cryin’ for the Carolines


Here’s the chorus sung by Fred Feild:
