Intro: C
They call the house the rising sun
But the rooms were dark and dingy
She packed her bag when the year was done
She won't be back again
F
She's a-goin home
C
Back to Carolina
G C
Leaving Fiddler's Rim behind her
She gave her heart by the harvest moon
To a fair-haired half-Comanche
But she plum give up on the someday-soons
Of a no-good gambling man
F
She's a-goin home (she's a-goin home)
C
Back to Carolina (back to Carolina)
G C
Leaving Fiddler's Rim and Diamond Jim behind her
