Lyrics
Refrain
Carry me back to my Carolina home
I’d give up everything I own
To be down in that Southern zone
I regret what I did, I ran away like a fool
I feel like a wild kid playing hooky from school
Down on my knees I beg of you please
Hurry this train for me
Come on let’s go, there’s someone I know
Waiting anxiously (my mammy)
The family hack will meet me at the railroad track
And will carry me back to my Carolina home
