The Song
"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. The song was copyrighted in 1928, so it entered the public domain on January 1, 2024.

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.
The song has also been recorded by the Chordettes, Perry Como, Annette Hanshaw, Dean Martin, Jim Reeves, Ben Selvin, Kate Smith, Slim Whitman, and Thelonious Monk in a jazz instrumental version.

Lyrics
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!
( instrumental break )
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely
dreamy Carolina Moon!
