The Carolina moon lights up the dark
Urging young lovers to walk in the park
The Carolina moon causes one to spoon
To dance in the throes of a lovely tune

Carolina moon shinning down on the mountains
Turning nighttime into daytime, lighting the way
Fairies playing through the tree canopy
And then whispering in sweet syncope

The Carolina moon reflecting off the ocean waves
Causing sand crabs to run and scurry away
The Carolina moon in nature’s eastern pride
Giving sailors light far into the night

Play a banjo tune about the Carolina moon
Lovers dancing in the full moon’s glow
Tides come; tides go; the moon pulls them to and fro
The Carolina moon shines down on the sandy dunes

The Carolina moon
Changing night into day
The Carolina moon
