I woke up this morning to the hummin' of the enginesHaulin' nature's finest from the Gulf of MexicoRiding this ol' river is peaceful but it's lonesomeAnd it makes me wonder how the old folks are at home[CHORUS:]Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pinesBut the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wineOh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloomAnd the southern stars are dancin' 'round the North Carolina moonJust rolled through Memphis, I could hear them guitars palyin'They had the blues so so bad it almost broke my heartBut it don't sound nothing like a band of tree frogs singin'When every now and then they get in tune with grandpa's harp[CHORUS:]Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pinesBut the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wineOh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloomAnd the southern stars are dancin' 'round the North Carolina moonNow when I die boys, make me this promiseYou'll send my body back up North Carolina wayI don't want no tombstone, just lay me next to mamaAnd let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave[CHORUS:]Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pinesBut the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wineOh, how I miss those mountains when the laurels are in bloomAnd the southern stars are dancin' 'round the North Carolina moonYeah, the southern stars are dancin' 'round the North Carolina moonNorth Carolina moonOooh, oooh, oooh, oooh [x2]
