Dottie West Carolina Cousins Lyrics

Carolina Cousins Lyrics

When I was just a young girl my mama told me hon



What country's where you've been to what country's where you're from



Now I don't wanna hurt you honey can't you see



No I'm not in the country the country's still in me



I've got Carolina cousins Carolina kin (they're waiting there)



At the gates of almost heaven they'll let me in



My Carolina cousins will smile and say hello so for now I've gotta say goodbye
and go







You found the country bluebird with a broken wing and tehn



You took her to the city and made her well again



But a hundred smilin' faces and a hundred voices call



Love you but I'm homesick so I'm leavin' after all



Cause I've got Carolina cousins...







Soon you'll get a letter to say I'll meet the bus



You'll just be there on it we'll make one of us



Someday if God's willin' you're gonna tell our son



What country's where you've been to boy what country's where you're from



And you'll have Carolina cousins...



Cause I've got Carolina cousins...
