Just a little bit south of North Carolina That's where I long to be In that little brown shack in South Carolina Someone waits for me In each letter he says the weather's fine The folks are feelin' great 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 idolise Just a little bit south of North Carolina I'll find paradise
