Cryin' for the Carolines

Cryin' for the Carolines - Ruth Etting

Lyrics by：Harry Warren

Composed by：Harry Warren

Big town you lured me

Big town you cured me

Though others hate to say goodbye to you

I'm leaving but I'll never sigh for you

Big town you robbed me

Of every joy I knew

Where is the song I had in my heart

That harmonized with the pines

Anyone can see what's troubling me

I'm crying for the carolines

Where is the brook that kisses the lane

Covered with glory vines

Anyone can see what's troubling me

I'm crying 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 troubling me

I'm crying 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 troubling me

I'm crying for the carolines

I'm crying for the carolines
