Oh, Carolina creeks

Running through my veins

Lost I was born, lonesome I came

For years, I roam

Free as these birds, light as whispers
Bm
Carolina knows

No, they never did see me here

And she's in my dreams

Into the mist, into the clouds

Don't leave

And there are places
Em
I will never, ever go

And things that only Carolina
Bm A Em A Bm
Will ever know
[Verso 2] A Em
Carolina stains on the dress she left
A
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Bm
Blue as the life she fled
A Em
Carolina pines, won't you cover me?

Hide me like robes down the back road

Muddy these webs we weave
[Pré-Refrão]And you didn't see me here
Oh, they never did see me here

And she's in my dreams

They never saw me
[Refrão] Bm
Oh, Carolina knows
A Em
Why for years they've said
A
That I was guilty as sin
Bm
And sleep in a liar's bed
But the sleep comes fast
A Em
And I'll meet no ghosts
Em
It's between me
A
The sand, and the sea
Bm
Carolina knows
