Caroline was a lady friend of mine who took me to

A place where I could sit a while

And my loving dreams could all come true

The Pines were sweet and the lies were neatly hidden from my view

She sang all the time, get you in line

And get on the road if you’re falling behind

You’re gonna be a child of mine

Sing on sing O’ Caroline

So I grew up straight and tall into the zoo my life left me behind

Folks were crying, lying, dying

I had to find my own damn mind

Full of feel I went to look with a voice in my ear

Singing come on home get you in line

Get on the road you’re falling behind

And you’re gonna be a child of mine

Sing on sing O’ Caroline

Can I walk away beside you

Will you tell me all the things you’ll do

If I decide to stay and say

That I’m in love with you

Can you make up for the years of pain

I just can’t go with you again

But one more time I like to hear

That lonesome old refrain

Won’t you come on home get you in line

Get on the road you’re falling behind

You’re gonna be a child of mine

Sing on sing O’ Caroline

Sing on sing O’ Caroline
