North Child

As a boy I spent some time
In the breezy mountains of Caroline
But a northern child is a northern child
He's always north bound after a while

Because a north child don't feel at home
Not without those cobblestones
That your dear old great granddaddy laid
Not without the cold drizzling rain

Ain't you got love left for Caroline?
Ain't you got love left for Caroline?

And in the field I was a fine young man
A southern belle, she held my hand
She said "wanderer, please won't you stay a while?"
Though I'm a wandering man
Darling, I'm a northern child

Ain't you got love left for Caroline?
Ain't you got love left for Caroline?

I tried to fight but I could not stand
Don't a boy need someone to hold his hand?
Come now reflection, you don't need to grin
It ain't no fight you're ever gonna win

Ain't you got love left for Caroline?
Ain't you got love left for Caroline?
Ain't you got love left for Caroline?
Ain't you got love left for Caroline?
