From the sheet music at Mississippi State University:


CAROLINA MOON
Words and music by Benny Davis & Joe [Joseph A.] Burke, 1928

1. The moon was shining bright in Carolina,
The night we said goodbye so tenderly,
And now that I'm away from Carolina,
Won't somebody tell the moon for me?

CHORUS: Oh! Carolina moon, keep shining,
Shining on the one who waits for me.
Carolina moon, I'm pining,
Pining for the place I long to be.
How I'm hoping tonight you’ll go,
Go to the right window,
Scatter your light, say I'm all right, please do.
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely, dreamy Carolina moon.

2. Last night I had a dream of Carolina,
I dreamed that I was back there once again
The moon was shining bright in Carolina,
Shining on the same old winding lane.

- - -
The Tempo of the song is a slow waltz.
All the best,
Frank Maher

After the worm thread, I hesitate to show my head above ground, but here goes: I have an urgent need for the lyrics to Carolina Moon (NC state song?) and some idea of what it's supposed to sound like? Many thanks...
