Carolina Calypso

E B A E May I lift your ears that you might hear an old tale that we spin E Bout the perfect stranger B A E His golden box a whole lotta sunshine within B He ran outside and opened it up A E Saw it carried to the four winds B A E That's just about where his old story begins E B It was late one day down in sunny Durham A E When the stranger stepped from the train E B Unpacked his sack with a big ol' smile A E Started strumming strong and fair A E As a crowd turned out at the depot B E He got it going real good right there B E Said this one's called the Carolina Calypso B A E Kept time with his dusty feet B E Sun like gold above the hickory trees F# B While his children are dancing in the street A E B E Carolina Calypso come see me tonight A E Let your voice surround me like a thousand arms F# B Sing me through the towns and back to the farm A E B E Carolina Calypso come see me tonight SOLO E B Come out and see when the time grows ripe A E Honey we're with friends E B A E The moon will rise above the hickory trees like a silver fire again E B If you happen to be a stranger in town A E Might take a friend's advice E B A E Grap yourself a railroad gal and come with us tonight C#m B I said kick off your shoes and your downtown blues A E Come with us tonight B E Get down one time for Carolina Calypso B E Keep time with your dusty feet B E The sky is gonna pale cross the old moss trail F# B While his children are dancing in the street A E B E Carolina Calypso come see me tonight A E Let your voice surround me like a thousand arms F# B Sing me through the towns and back to the farm A E B E Carolina Calypso come see me tonight The Brooklyn Cowboys "Doin Time On Planet Earth" Leaps Records Cowsmilk American Moosik(ASCAP)
