Carolina Rua (the Crooked Road) appears on Mary Black's "No Frontiers" album, with a rather carribean-sounding arrangement. The arrangement shown here is songwriter Thom Moore's own original version, as found on his "Dreamer in Russia" CD. Thom Moore's website can be found at http://www.harp-thistle.com/thom/ Carolina Rua (The Crooked Road) Stories never end till you come to conclusions: Carolina Rua has a hand in my confusion. She waits for me to choose which quarter to bend in, to Susie-Make-Me-Blue, or the redhead I?m attending. Now, Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do?s go down the windy road, where my Carolina goes; down the crooked road, where Carolina goes to school, Mo Charolina rua, do you love me? Tell me true, tell me. Standing on three queens, I thought the game was over; then, from the blue, Carolina?s at my shoulder. Laughter in her eyes, and a smile that touches all the guys on down the windy road, where my Carolina goes; down the crooked road, where Carolina goes to school, Mo Charolina rua, do you love me? Tell me true, tell me.
