Just a little bit south of North Carolina That's where I long to be In a little brown shack in South Carolina Someone waits for me In each letter she says that the weather is fine and the folks are feeling great That the garden looks grand and the red rose vine is clinging to the gate Just a little bit south of North Carolina That's where my thoughts all stray To the one I love best in South Carolina I'm going back some day I can hardly wait to see the face of the one I like Just a little bit south of North Carolina I'll find paradise Just a little bit south of North Carolina That's where my thoughts all stray To the one I love best in South Carolina I'm going back some day I can hardly wait to see the face of the one I like Just a little bit south of North Carolina I'll find paradise
