lyrics

Why do you cry Carolina Mama?
You've done nothing wrong
except answer your heart
when it came a-callin'...

But if you want the man that you kiss
to be the same
who'll raise a fist...
Congratulations darlin'.

You know this winter did not kill me
but it sure wore me down.
And when William the Handsome comes back into town
I have only silence.
And his violence gets so loud.
I know you're not proud.

And so you cry Carolina Mama.
Though you've done nothing wrong
except open your eyes
on your first morning...

Well, if you want the man that you kiss
to be the same
who'll raise a fist...
Congratulations darlin'.

You know this winter did not kill me
but it sure wore me down.
And when William the Handsome comes back into town
I have only silence.
And his violence gets so loud.
I know you're not proud.
