North Carolina Moon (Album Version) - Jon Randall

作词：Ron Stewart/Jon Randall

作曲：Ron Stewart/Jon Randall

I woke up this morning

To the humming of the engines

Hauling nature's finest

From the Gulf of Mexico

Ridin' this ol' river

Is peaceful but it's lonesome

It makes me wonder

How the old folks are at home

Now the years have blown by me

Like the wind through the pines

But the song of the south

Is ever sweet as homemade wine

Oh how I miss those mountains

When the laurels are in bloom

And the southern stars are dancin'

'Round a north Carolina moon

At just rolled through memphis

I could hear them guitar's a playing

They had the blues so bad it almost broke my heart

Don't sound nothing

Like a band of tree frogs singing

When every now and then they'd get in tune with

Grandpa's harp

Now the years have blown by me

Like the wind through the pines

But the song of the south

Is ever sweet as homemade wine

Oh how I miss those mountains

When the laurels are in bloom

And the southern stars are dancin'

'Round a north Carolina moon

And when I die boys

Make me this promise

You'll send my body back up north Carolina way

I don't want no tombstone

Just lay me next to mama

And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave

Now the years have blown by me

Like the wind through the pines

But the song of the south

Is ever sweet as homemade wine

Oh how I miss those mountains

When the laurels are in bloom

And the southern stars are dancin'

'Round a north Carolina moon

Carolina moon

North Carolina moon

Carolina moon
