Pack the sofa pack the old arm chair
Tell the china to ask the silverware
To pray we find that they speak the language there
And say goodbye to Carolina
Leave the puppies and leave the old porch swing
Tell the children bringing everything
And tell the picture of Martin Luther King
To say goodbye to Carolina
Go west young man while you still can
Before you're old and gray
Go west and make a better life
Than you could if you stayed
So tell your family and tell your friends goodbye
Say you'll write them and keep them on your mind
And say you'll see them whenever someone dies
And says goodbye to Carolina
Leave the puppies and leave the old porch swing
Tell the children we're leaving everything
Except the picture of Martin Luther King
To say goodbye to Carolina
Go west young man while you still can
Before you're out of time
And you can always come back home
Tomorrow if you like
Wave to the tractor and to the tractor shed
And to the milk cow that kicked me in the head
I can't remember but was it
I who said goodbye to Carolina
