Lonesome In Caroline

And I am lonesome in Caroline

Well I went down to a seaport town, to see a pretty woman there

I went down to a seaport town, to see a pretty woman there

But when I got down to Beaufort, I couldn't find her anywhere

So I went up to a mountain town, knew a girl that moved that way

I went up to a mountain town, knew a girl that moved that way

But when I got up to Asheville, she said this ain't your day

Yes, I am lonesome in Caroline

I travelled next to my hometown, to look up my childhood gal

I travelled next to my hometown, to look up my childhood gal

But that mean Charlotte woman said

That was then, but it sure ain't now

Forever lonesome in Caroline

Well now I live alone in a city that I just won't name

Now I live alone in a city that I just won't name

Maybe I'll get me a draw min woman, will she treat me the same?

Forever lonesome in Caroline
