Can anyone send me the complete lyrics to 'Cabin in the Pines'?

The beginning goes like this:

There's a cabin in the pines In the hills of Caroline And a blue-eyed girl is waiting there for me

Thanks!

I've got it on one of my Flatt & Scruggs albums, but I'll be out of town for several days and can't get to it now. If no one else comes forth in the meantime, remind me in a few days and I'll dredge it out........Tiger

It's hard to remember words when you're not playing a guitar and singing but here goes...

There's a cabin in the pines in the hills of Caroline,
And a Blue-eyed girl is waiting there for me,
I'll be going back some day and from her I'll never stray,
And the cabin in the hills of Caroline.

CHORUS: Oh, the cabin in the shadow of the pines,
And a blue-eyed girl way down in Caroline,
Someday she'll be my wife and we'll live a happy life,
In a cabin in the hills of Caroline.

I'm packin' my grip for that long, long trip,
Back to the hills of Caroline,
Going to see that blue-eyed girl, she's the sweetest in the world,
And a cabin in the hills of Caroline.

And when it's late at night and the moon is shining bright
And the whippoorwill is calling from the hill,
Going to tell her of my love greater than the stars above,
And the cabin in the hills of Caroline.

My mind must have been somewhere else when I posted the lyrics above. Here it is again with the last line corrected.

MY CABIN IN CAROLINE

There's a cabin in the pines in the hills of Caroline,
And a blue-eyed girl is waiting there for me,
I'll be going back some day and from her I'll never stray,
And the cabin in the hills of Caroline.

Chorus:
Oh the cabin in the shadow of the pines,
And a blue-eyed girl way down in Caroline,
Someday she'll be my wife and we'll live a happy life,
In the cabin in the hills of Caroline.

I'm packin' my grip for that long, long trip,
Back to the hills of Caroline,
Going to see that blue-eyed girl, she's the sweetest in the world,
And the cabin in the hills of Caroline.

And when it's late at night and the moon is shining bright,
And the whippoorwill is calling from the hill,
Then I'll tell her of my love greater than the stars above,
I love her now and I know I always will.

Hi, Mark - can you furnish any background information on the song? Is the songwriter known? Where'd you get it?
I'm on a campaign to push for source attribution. It helps when people want to dig deeper, or to add a song to their repertoire.

The title is sometimes given as "My Cabin in Caroline" and sometimes as "Cabin in Caroline." Either way, according to AMG, it's always attributed to Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs. It was also recorded by the Osborne Brothers, Tony Ellis, Josh Williams, and the Matt Glaser Quintet.
