I presume Guest would like someone to provide the lyrics to Ramshackle Shack Down in Old Caroline. The only version of this I've heard is by Debbie McClatchy - Does anyone know the words?

I know the first verse.

There's a ramshackle shack in old Caroline
That's calling me back to that girl of mine
Those two brown eyes, I'm longing to see
For, the girl of my dreams she will always be.

and a bit of another verse, ..if I could fly on the wings of a beautiful dove
I'd fly to the arms of the one that I love.

RE: Previous post...

SPARKLING BROWN EYES
Recorded by Webb Pierce (with The Wilburn Brothers)
Words and music by Billy Cox

There's a Ramshackle Shack (There's a Ramshackle Shack)
[In old Caroline]
It's callin' me back (It's callin' me back)
[To the girl of mine]
Those two brown eyes (Those two brown eyes)
[I'm longin' to see]
Oh, the girl of my dreams (Oh, the girl of my dreams)
[She will always be.]

CHORUS

Those two brown eyes, (Those two brown eyes)
[That sparkle with love]
Came down to me, (Came down to me)
[From heaven above]
If I could fly, (If I could fly)
[Like a beautiful dove]
I'd fly to the arms, (I'd fly to the arms)
[Of the one that I love.]

When it's harvest time - down in old Caroline
I'll be driftin' back - to that gal of mine
I'll spend my days - with the girl that I love
With the help of One - up in heaven above.

When the whippoorwills called - on the hills far away
We'd sing love songs - and she would say
"My love for you - will never die."
We bid farewell - and I said good-bye.

Thanks to all of you for your responses. Sorry if my request was confusing, I'll be more specific next time.
