Dottie West - 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...
