E    A     E            B            E
If I marred Caroline so happy I would be
E          A       E                  A       E
I wouldn’t need no whiskey I wouldn’t need no wine
E          A            E           B            E
I wouldn’t need much of anything if Caroline was mine


E         A    E                   A      E
Her daddy is a preacher and may he rot in hell
E           A       E           B              E

E                A     E                    B               E
But I’m going to marry caroline if it’s the last thing that I do


E         A     E                   A       E
Well if I was a painter I’d put you down in paint
E           A      E              B                E
I’d hang you by the mona lisa and put that girl to shame
E       A     E                     A     E
Or if I was a sailor and sailed the seven seas
E        A          E             B               E
I’d roll across the ocean just to bring you home with me.

Cuz I’ve been feeling lonesome  and feelin kinda blue
E           A      E           B         E
