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, 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 hopin' 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 an' lonely

dreamy Carolina Moon!







Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely

dreamy Carolina Moon!
