[Chorus 1] There's a place where the sun doth shine And the birds keep time with the pines up yonder That's the home of my Caroline She's dancing in the sky [Verse 1] Oh how sweet when we meet On the golden streets of the great wide valley These old chains around my feet They're pulling me back down [Chorus 2] Caroline, oh Caroline I'll be home Just at any old time The grave and the garden won't be satisfied Until your name's next to mine [Verse 2] And my bones do break and my hands do shake When my bones do break and my hands do shake As I lie in the wake of time's cruel slaughter But if I die before I wake I'm gonna see my Caroline [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] There's a place where the sun doth shine And the birds keep time with the pines up yonder That's the home of my Caroline She's dancing in the sky [Chorus 2 X2]
