Carolina Cousins Lyrics - Dottie West

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...
