I'm Goin' to Fight My Way Right Back to Carolina

"I'm Goin' To Fight My Way Right Back to Carolina" is a World War I era song released in 1918. Billy Baskette and Jessie Spiess wrote the music and lyrics. It was published by McCarthy & Fisher, Inc. of New York, New York. The sheet music cover was designed by Andre C. De Takacs. It features an armed soldier tearing through the cover. The song was written for both voice and piano.

The lyrics are told from the point of view of a soldier who is willing to fight to his best ability. His inspiration is his girlfriend Caroline (also referred to as Carolina). The chorus is as follows:
 * I'm goin' to fight my way back to Carolina
 * ''I'm goin' to run every Hun,
 * every son of gun I see
 * Depend on me, Cause I'm in this thing to win
 * And I know that it's no sin
 * To grab a little German, any little Herman
 * and carve my name on him
 * And I am satisfied Carolina loves me
 * I left my heart with her in Dixie land,
 * She'll understand that I may come back with something missin' 
 * But that won't keep us from huggin' and kissin' 
 * When I fight my way back to Caroline

The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
