An Evening in Caroline

An Evening in Caroline - The Boswell Sisters

Written by：Walter Donaldson/Meyer

When poets write they

Love to write about the Southland

It's not exaggeration it's not imagination

Now if you want to see the moon in all it's splendor

If you want to see the way the stars can shine

If you want to feel a breeze

That's sweet and tender

An evening in Caroline

Now if you really want to

Hear the whippoorwill sir

And the answer to the words will you be mine

If you want to give your

Heart a perfect thrill sir

Spend an evening in Caroline

Yes sir say what you like

I know what it's like to be glad right now

Yes sir say what you may

I never could ever be blue

Don't you tell me that

You'd really have to guess sir

Why I learned to love the Carolina pines

If you want to meet the sweetest sweetie

Yes sir

Spend an evening in Caroline

Want to see the moon in all it's splendor

That's sweet and tender

An evening in Caroline

Now if you really want to

Hear the whippoorwill sir

And the answer to the words will

Spend an evening in Caroline

Yes sir say what you like

I know what it's like to be glad right now

Yes sir say what you may

I never could ever be blue

Don't you tell me that

You'd really have to guess sir

Why I learned to love the Carolina

Spend an evening in Caroline
