MY CAROLINA RANCH

My Carolina Ranch

By

Jim Allen

Verse 1

The breeze is blowing
Through the longleaf pines
The geese are eating
On the kudzu vines
A red bird is perched
On a scrub oak branch
It's springtime on
My Carolina ranch.

Verse 2

The deer are making tracks
In the driveway sand
An old goat's grazing
On the fish pond dam
The horses are frisking
In the pasture grass
And the pond is alive
With jumping bass.

Verse 3

The frogs are hopping
In the flower bed
Where water is dripping
From a sprinkler head
The honeybees are buzzing
'Round a flowering hedge
And a salamander's crawling
On a rocky ledge.

Chorus

It's springtime on
My Carolina ranch
The calves are bawling
And the horses prance
The quail are doing
Their mating dance
It's springtime on
My Carolina ranch.
