Charlotte North Caroline lyrics

Left the cotton and tobacco the red clay and the pines It's a long way to where I'm going from Charlotte North Caroline I wanna see Charlotte Charlotte that hometown of mine Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte North Caroline Got on the boat in Frisco headin' for the war The boys on board are bettin' we won't see home no more I wanna see Charlotte... [ dobro ] Soon I'll be fightin' with the men I must destroy Lord please have mercy on this poor Caroline boy I wanna see Charlotte... Now if my days are numbered I'll ask before they're gone Oh Lord don't let me die so far away from home I wanna see Charlotte...
