It's Sunday Down in Caroline

Lazy sun is shinin' and my heart's at ease

I can hear sweet music in the morning breeze

Folks can stay in bed 'til any time they please

It's Sunday down in Caroline

Four and twenty hours set aside for play

Cotton is forgotten down old Dixie way

Heaven comes a-callin' every seventh day

It's Sunday down in Caroline

Church bells will be ringin' hallelujah

Hallelujah, come and pray

Darkies will be singin' so peculiar

Singin' their sins away

Love don't have to wait until the evening time

There's no work to keep me from that gal of mine

I'll be off to meet her when the church bells chime

It's Sunday down in Caroline
