Caroline Songtext
von Phil Everly

Old Kentucky river cross the county line
Through the morning sunshine you flow to Caroline
Old Kentucky river I recall a time
On your bank of bluegrass Caroline was mine


Between the tick and the tock of a grandfather clock
You never thought would chime
There′s a gait that brings change so painfully strange
It's finally tomorrow time
Jet engines sing on silvery wings
Bluegrass below the clouds
Between head and heart I fought from the start
Now I call your name out loud

Old Kentucky river cross the county line
Through the morning sunshine you flow to Caroline
Old Kentucky river I recall a time
On your bank of bluegrass Caroline was mine

Chestnut hair in the morning sun a crown of fiery red
On a pillow made of fallen leaves upon an autumn bed
The young girl of the night before now sings a woman′s song
And the words she sang to me is in love there's nothing wrong


Old Kentucky river cross the county line
Through the morning sunshine you flow to Caroline
Old Kentucky river I recall a time
On your bank of bluegrass Caroline was mine
