Miss Caroline Who has won my heart and hand You know Miss Caroline Save up all your loving kisses Save them all for me Some day the folks will call you Missus Down in Tennesee: Chorus Caroline Miss Caroline That Ever loving gal of mine Honey dear just listen hear Who do you love best of all? (Now I've got you guessing girls-sing) Tell me true my honey do and see my eyes just shine For there's no one down in Dixie land like (Who?)

(Now I've got you guessing girls-sing) Tell me true my honey do and see my eyes just shine For there's no one down in Dixie land like (Who?) Miss Caroline Second verse Sunny days are coming soon Oh! oh! Miss Caroline Have those banjoes all in tune So, so, Miss Caroline Colored folks will all be out to see who’s that stranger in town I know there’s gwine to be come jealousy After I come down:
