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 »

The moon was shining bright in Carolina 
The night we said goodbye so tenderly 
And now that I'm away from Carolina 
Won't somebody tell the moon for me: 
 
Oh, 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 hopin' tonight you'll go 
Go to the right window 
Scatter your light 
Say I'm all right please do! 
 
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely 
Dreamy Carolina Moon! 
 
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely 
Dreamy Carolina Moon!
