There's a ramshackle shack down in old Carolin'
And it's calling me back to that sweetheart of mine
Those pretty blue eyes I long to see
Down in old Carolin', there I long to be
Those pretty blue eyes that sparkle with love
Sent down to me from Heaven above
And if I had wings like a beautiful dove
I'd fly away to the girl I love
When the whip-poor-wills called at the close of day
We would sing love songs and then she would say
"My love for you will never die"
And then we bid farewell, such a sad goodbye
Those pretty blue eyes that sparkle with love
Sent down to me from Heaven above
And if I had wings like a beautiful dove
I'd fly away to the girl I love
When it's harvest time down in old Carolin'
I'll be drifting back to that sweetheart of mine
Spend the rest of my days with the girl I love
By the help of the Lord up in Heaven above
Those pretty blue eyes that sparkle with love
Sent down to me from Heaven above
And if I had wings like a beautiful dove
I'd fly away to the girl I love
