July 10th 1947 New York


The moon was shining bright in Carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly,
And now that I'm away from Carolina,
Won't somebody tell the moon for me;

Oh, Carolina moon keep shining,
Shining on the one who waits for me.
Carolina moon, I'm pining,
Pining for the place I long to be.

How I'm hoping tonight you'll go,
Go to the right window;
Scatter your light,
Say I'm alright,
Please do!

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon!

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon!
