Vince Gill - The Hills Of Caroline lyrics

I was born in guilford county Way back up in the pines It's where i hold the sweetest memories In the hills of caroline My daddy wasn't much of nothin' Spent his life doin' time But mama learned me about jesus In the hills of caroline I met a girl her name was hattie Fair and tender, sweet and kind She showed me how to love a woman In the hills of caroline I always thought that we would marry One sweet day she would be mine But hattie's gone, to live with jesus In the hills of caroline If i should die before tomorrow Just one request if you don't mind Just bury me right next to hattie In the hills of caroline Bury me right next to hattie In the hills of caroline
