Hills Of Caroline

I was born in Guilford County

Way back up in the pines

That's where I hold the sweetest memories

In the hills of Caroline

Daddy wasn't much of nothin'

Spent his life doin' time

Mama learned me about Jesus

In the hills of Caroline

I met a girl, her name was Hattie

Fair and tender, sweet and kind

She taught me how to love a woman

In the hills of Caroline

I always thought that we would marry

Some sweet day she would be mine

Now Hattie's gone to live with Jesus

In the hills of Caroline

If I should die before tomorrow

One request, if you don't mind

Just bury me right next to Hattie

In the hills of Caroline
