Well, lazy waters flow in the evening after glow
And dew is on the melon vine
The moon is hanging low over cottonfields below
It's sleepy time in Caroline
From yonder distant hill, you can hear a whippoorwill
While sweethearts find a thrill as their hearts entwine
And through the cabin door, lullabies tell us once more
It's sleepy time in Caroline
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Well, lazy waters flow in the evening after glow
And dew is on the melon vine
The moon is hanging low over cottonfields below
It's sleepy time in Caroline
From yonder distant hill, you can hear a whippoorwill
While sweethearts find a thrill as their hearts entwine
And through the cabin door, lullabies tell us once more
It's sleepy time in Caroline
