- Verse:
- 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:
-
- Chorus:
- 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 hoping tonight you'll
go, Go to the right window,
Scatter your light, Say I'm all right please do.
- Oh! Tell her that I'm blue
and lonely,
Dreamy Carolina Moon.
