I am looking for the words to a song my grandfather often sang to me - "Carolina Moon". If anyone has the words to this, or, even better yet, knows where a realaudio clip of the song exists, please contact me at nealla@person.net. A thousand thanks.

Finding the words is easy enough. You'll find them as sung by Jim Reeves at

As far as the real audio is concerned, I am pretty sure I have heard it somewhere, I just don't remember where. The version I remember hearing is of a much older recording.

There is another set of lyrics and a satisfactory midi at

It was written in 1929 according to this site.

I'm having trouble getting to some of those links, so I'll paste the lyrics here.

CAROLINA MOON
by Benney Davis and Joe Burke

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 alright
Please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon

Keep shining on the one who waits for me

I'm 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 alright
Please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
