Lyrics
- Me and mah Caroline, hand in hand
Down on the Brandywine
Strolling the fragrant meadow land
Down where the sunbeams shine
Down through the woods where the breezes blow
Down where the water lillies grow
Singing mah love song sweet and low
Down on the Brandywine
Chorus
Oh! Caroline, say you’ll be mine
Joybells ringin’, darkies singin’
When to church we go a swingin’
Oh! Caroline, won’t that be fine
I’ll find a spot to build a cot
Down on the Brandywine
- I want to be on that flow’ry shore
Down on the Brandywine
Back with mah Caroline gal once more
Back with mah baby mine
She is a waiting there for me
Under the weeping willow tree
Oh! what a jubilee there will be
Down on the Brandywine
