This song feels like a traditional song, but it isn't. The version in the Digital Tradition comes from Guy Carawan, but it was written by Bill Staines.

GOIN' BACK TO CAROLINA (Sweet Winds Blowing)[from DT]
(Bill Staines adapted Guy Carawan)

I can hear the soft winds blowin' through the valleys and the hills
I can hear the soft winds blowin'as I go, as I go,
I can hear the soft winds blowin' through the valleys and the hills
I'm goin' back to Carolina, bless my soul, bless my soul.

I can see the morning breakin' through the valleys and the hills,
I can see the morning breakin' as I go, as I go
I can see the morning breakin'through the valleys and the hills
I'm goin' back to Carolina, bless my soul, bless my soul.

I can feel a touch of heaven etc.

I can feel the people stirrin', etc.
