Old Carolina

Scott Anderson

 

                   G                          Am                    C                      D

In old Carolina, where I was born; and that’s where I want to be

                   G                   Am                    C                   D             G

But I’m stranded here in Ohio, cold and hungry, with nothing to eat

                   G                   Am                 C                         D

I miss my Mama and my Papa and my faithful old coonhound

                   G                          Am                    C      D            G

I miss my Julie, sweet tender lovin’, and that little Carolina town

 

<CHORUS>

                     Am                      G                       Am                   D

I was foolish to go and leave her; I had roamin’ on my mind

        G                          Am                      C     D          G

If I ever get out of this city, in old Carolina, I’ll be found

 

                G                    Am                     C                          D

I left my Julie, she was cryin’; tears like rain were fallin’ down

                   G                          Am                    C      D            G

I miss my Julie, sweet tender lovin’, and that little Carolina town

 

<CHORUS>
