Just a little bit south of North Carolina
  That's where I long to be
  In a little brown shack in South Carolina
  Someone waits for me
  In each letter she says that the weather is fine and the folks are feeling great
  That the garden looks grand and the red rose vine is clinging to the gate
  
  Just a little bit south of North Carolina
  That's where my thoughts all stray
  To the one I love best in South Carolina
  I'm going back some day
  I can hardly wait to see the face of the one I like
  Just a little bit south of North Carolina
  I'll find paradise
