Take Me Back To That Old Carolina Home G

Well me and my buddies started out d'utter day
Stud'in a plan, how to git away
Lights comed on and comin tru d'dark
Waiting for d'pass'ger train to start

'ductor was astandin right down d'road
Hol'rin to d'pass'gers, "All Aboard"
Den he reached up and he pulled dat strang
Banga, banga, banga went d'banjer strang

Take me back (take me back),
take me back (take me back)
Take-a me back to my North Caroliner home
Take me back (take me back),
take me back (take me back)
Take-a me back to that old Caroliner home

Well the light comed on, and caught us in d'dark
Waitin for d'pass'ger train to start
Great big rounder sittin on top
Ses "Look out boys d'trains gonna stop"

Well d'train pulled on to d'bery next stop
I looked around, 'bout sebenteen cops
Cross d'hill, you aughta see me run
Banga banga banga went d'gatlin gun
