Just bury me right next to Hattie
Just bury me right next to Hattie
I met a girl, her name was Hattie
My daddy wasn't much of nothin'
One sweet day she would be mine
In the hills of Caroline
In the hills of Caroline
She showed me how to love a woman
In the hills of Caroline
Just one request if you don't mind
It's where I hold the sweetest memories
But mama learned me about Jesus
In the hills of Caroline
Fair and tender, sweet and kind
In the hills of Caroline
I always thought that we would marry
If I should die before tomorrow
He spent his life doin' time
But Hattie's gone to live with Jesus
