Carolina Moon

About Carolina Moon

"Carolina Moon" is a popular song, written by Joe Burke and Benny Davis. Written in 1924, the song was first recorded in 1928 by American crooner Gene Austin whose version charted for 14 weeks, seven of them at #1. A version of "Carolina Moon" was recorded by Connie Francis in June 1958: as with her breakthrough hit "Who's Sorry Now?", "Carolina Moon" was recommended to Francis by her father. The B-side of Francis's international hit "Stupid Cupid" "Carolina Moon" became a double A-side hit with "Stupid Cupid" which began a six-week tenure at #1 on the UK Singles Chart dated September 27 1958. Benny Davis would later write several songs for Connie Francis including the 1962 #1 hit "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" (Joe Burke had died in 1950). Maureen McGovern recorded "Carolina Moon" for her 1979 self-titled album release with the track serving as the B-side of her Top 20 single "Different Worlds" – this version erroneously credits the song as being of "Traditional" composition. more »

Carolina moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be

How I'm hoping tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I'm alright
Please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon

Keep shining on the one who waits for me
I'm pining for the place I long to be

How I'm hoping tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I'm alright
Please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
