            [Intro]
E A G
[Verse 1]
G                  D         G
Goodbye, Northman, I'm on my way
G        Am Gm
To-day's my busy day
G                 D           G
Grip's all packed and I'm feeling gay;
A                D
Here's all I can say
[Chorus]
G               Gm
Drop me down in Caroline
G
Caroline that would be fine
Bm        A      Gm       G
Any place below the Dixon Line
G
Alabama or Tennessee
G
Sure enough looks good to me
G      Bm             A        Am       G
I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine
C                  G
Been away too long up with the ice and snow
G               A                   D                  G
So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow
G                    Gm      G
But from now on when writing me
Gm                 G
If not there, just forward please
E                A       Am    G
Somewhere down below the Dixon Line
[Yodel]
D Am G
[Verse 2]
G
It ain't no use my telling you
G              D G
The many things I crave
G                      D      G
If you will come along with me
A                      D
You'll know just why I say
[Chorus]
G               Gm
Drop me down in Caroline
G
Caroline that would be fine
Bm        A      Gm       G
Any place below the Dixon Line
G
Alabama or Tennessee
G
Sure enough looks good to me
G      Bm             A        Am       G
I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine
C                  G
Been away too long up with the ice and snow
G               A                   D                  G
So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow
G                    Gm      G
But from now on when writing me
Gm                 G
If not there, just forward please
E                A       Am    G
Somewhere down below the Dixon Line
