Subject: Lyr Add: DARLING CHLOE
Finally got the words from my mother. Apparently she thinks she has all the words, but wants to know the source of the song.
DARLING CHLOE
In the old Carolina state, Where the sweet magnolias bloom And the pickaninny darkies are all gay, There is one I long to see She was always good to me And I left her many, many years ago.
(second tune) In the cotton and the corn Where we both were bred and born And together in the fields we used to hoe, It's been twenty years or more since I crossed the cabin door And I'm going back to see my Darling Chloe.
(refrain) Darling Chloe, Darling Chloe Your sweet face I soon shall see I know. Where the sunny southern breeze Fans the tall palmetto trees I am going back to see my Darling Chloe.
