Lyrics
Small city on a North Carolina coast
Pretty young Anna Mae made the most
Of a tough life
Daddy came tumbling home drunk
Underneath the covers she would pray and hope
For a short fight
She was a Carolina Girl
She was a Carolina Girl
Front porch on a Sunday afternoon
The Salvation Army came marching through
Past Anna Mae
She followed that band and the preacher man
Who spoke of a Love and a better plan
For whosoever may be saved
And she was...
She was a Carolina Girl
She was a Carolina Girl
Nothin' finer than her cookin'
Her lookin' after all of us
Oh, what a fuss she made
Running away from all that hate
Wrapping us up in her kindness
Carolina Girl
She was as strong as she was kind
Keeping the four of us in line
With a knowing look
And a Carolina smile
Now, I'm here with a family of my own
You could trace my story to a speck of hope
In little Anna Mae's eyes
You were a Carolina Girl
You were a Carolina Girl
Nothin' finer than your cookin'
You lookin' after all of us
Oh, what a fuss you made
Running away from all that hate
Wrapping us up in your kindness
Making a home that would bind us
Carolina Girl
Carolina Girl
