Caroline Lyrics

caroline my baby
caroline my sweet
if i married caroline
so happy i would be
i wouldn't need no whiskey
i wouldn't need no wine
wouldn't need much of anything
if caroline was mine

her daddy is a preacher
and may he rot in hell
i'd sell my soul to satan for
a bucket from your well

i know that he don't like me
i know he'll disapprove
but i'm gonna marry caroline
if it's the last thing that i do

if i was a painter
i'd put you down in paint
i'd hang you by the mona lisa
and put that girl to shame
or if i was a sailor
and i sailed the seven seas
i'd row across the ocean
just to bring you home with me

oh caroline my baby
oh caroline my sweet
you make a man go crazy
why won't you come to me
'cause i've been feeling lonesome
and feeling kinda blue
i think i'd rather die
than to be away from you

but she said boy
you know you've caught my eye
and i know you're sweeter than
apple pie
but i like my man completely wild
so baby keep on trying

caroline my baby
caroline my sweet
i'm gonna marry caroline
