Cryin' For The Carolines

Big town you lured me
Big town you cured me
Tho' others hate to say goodbye to you
I'm leavin' but I'll never sigh for you
Big town you robbed me of ev'ry joy I knew

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 boy that I used to meet
Down where the pale moon shines
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

Oh, where is the boy that I used to meet
Down where the pale moon shines?
Anyone can see what's troublin' me
I'm cryin' for the Carolines

I'm cryin' for the Carolines
