CAROLINA MORNING
Don Jackson

It’s a Carolina Morning
I got you and Carolina in my soul

It’s me and you in Laurel Mountain
And the frost has just dropped in
It’s a mountain invitation
Sent out to the northern winds
And the heavens thrust the hillside
In latest fashion for the fall
And the breeze writes a windsong
Named it Carolina Fall

It’s a Carolina Morning
And the leaves are red and gold
It’s a Carolina Morning
I got you and Carolina in my soul

Baby lay down here beside me
The logs are cracklin’ on the fire
And outside the leaves are fallin’
As the fall starts to retire
As we go on to tomorrow
Leave the blazin’ hills behind
We will save a little corner
For Carolina in our minds

It’s a Carolina Morning
And the leaves are red and gold
It’s a Carolina Morning
I got you and Carolina in my soul
