[Verse 1]
                     A                     D
There's a ramshackle shack down in old Caroline,
                A                    E
it's callin' me back to the woman of mine.
                   A                    D
Guess if I had the wings of a beautiful dove,
                        A   E                A       A*
don't you know I'd fly away   to the woman I love?

[Verse 2]
                       A                        D
When the whippoorwills called on the hills far away,
                          A                           E
we're gonna sing a little song, we're gonna hear them say:
            A                   D
my love for you will never ever die,
                 A   E                     A       A*
everything sail away   to the by sweet and by.

[Verse 3]
                A                      D
Those two brown eyes that sparkle with love
             A               E
came down to me from heaven above.
             A                    D
If I had the wings of a beautiful dove,
                        A   E                A       A*
don't you know I'd fly away   to the woman I love.
