Carolina in the Morning and Ham and Eggs in Carolina

I've always thought this verse from Chattanooga Choo Choo was a spoofy poke at an earlier song:

You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four,
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore...
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
(Then to have your ham and eggs in Carolina).

     (from Chattanooga Choo Choo)1 

Ham and eggs being the traditional breakfast foods, I think it spoofs this line:

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning.

     (from Carolina in the Morning).2
