Subject: RE: Songs In/About Carolinas From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 09 Feb 19 - 06:05 AM I think Carolina crops up a lot in song because of its amenable Italianate scansion (short, short, long, short syllables), plus it’s versatile rhyming possibilities: Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning In my mind I’m gone to Carolina When I was young and in my prime, I left my home in Caroline Heading down south to the land of the pines, thumbing way to North Caroline In South Carolina there are many tall pines..... In short, a songsmith’s dream - can’t really claim that for Omaha, Idaho or Michigan, though a few million residents there might disagree. |
Subject: RE: Songs In/About Carolinas From: Ebbie Date: 10 Feb 19 - 12:23 AM Rocky River Home I'm going back, can't wait for day I'm headed south; I'm going to stay In those green fields of Carolina Take me back to my Rocky River home. The sky was gray the day I left I felt just like I left myself In those green fields of Carolina When I left my Rocky River home Each night I pray right from the start Please end this war, let me depart For those green fields of Carolina Take me back to my Rocky River home. Old Stonewall said, Stand straight and tall When cannons roar and if you fall We'll send you back to your Carolina There to rest in your Rocky River home When Stonewall fell and Stuart too The Second Corps was split in two Take me back to my Carolina Take me back to my Rocky River home Our General Lee was brave and true But in the end the world was Blue Take me back to my Carolina Take me back to my Rocky River home. I'm going back, can't wait for day I'm headed south; I'm going to stay In those green fields of Carolina There to rest in my Rocky River home. |
