Poem
Charlotte Sweet Charlotte You are quiet tonight You can still see the stars from your streets A city so charming And filled with delight This southerner sure can compete Unlike other cities With tall buildings and more You still have the grace of a gal Who stands center and strong To a heart filled with song Who cares if you’re a femme fatale For the glory is yours Each day you do rise To the sounds of the cafes all bustling And tighten your boot straps For Nascar, perhaps Where Jeff Gordon will surely be hustling Yes, the Speedway is here With its cars and bright lights And legends are made on the tracks But even momentum Some beer and adventure Won’t stop you from feeling relaxed Charlotte Sweet Charlotte You are quiet tonight But soon it will be football season And the Panthers will play The foe they will slay Sweet Caroline plays for a reason Your spell is cast nicely On those who pass through For your wonder will captivate Just shy of the Mountains Or East to the sea Our Charlotte is Queen of the State The Blue Ridge is glory The landscape sincere The small towns are doing quite well The farms and small places With warm familiar faces The stories those mountains will tell But if you drive East Of this sweet Charlotte town You will find country charm by the sea Where sweet tea is custom And corn bread is bakin’ And Carolina love sets you free Charlotte Sweet Charlotte You are quiet tonight You can still see the stars from your streets A city so charming And filled with delight This southerner sure can compete By Mary Susan Vaughn
