EAEAE Caroline my baby Caroline my sweet
EAEBE If I marred Caroline so happy I would be
EAEAE I wouldn’t need no whiskey I wouldn’t need no wine
EAEBE I wouldn’t need much of anything if Caroline was mine
EAEAE Her daddy is a preacher and may he rot in hell
EAEBE I’d sell my soul to satan for a bucket from your well
EAEAE Cuz I know that he don’t like me and I know he’ll disapprove
EAEBE But I’m going to marry caroline if it’s the last thing that I do
EAEAE Well if I was a painter I’d put you down in paint
EAEBE I’d hang you by the mona lisa and put that girl to shame
EAEAE Or if I was a sailor and sailed the seven seas
EAEBE I’d roll across the ocean just to bring you home with me.
EAEAE Oh caroline my baby oh caroline my sweet
EAEBE You make a man go crazy why won’t you come to me
EAEAE Cuz I’ve been feeling lonesome and feelin kinda blue
EAEBE I think I’d rather die than to be away from you
AEAE She said boy you know you’ve caught my eye
AEAE And I know you’re sweeter than apple pie
AEAE But I like my men completely wild
EEB So baby keep on tryin – oh oh oh oh
EAEAE Caroline my baby Caroline my sweet
EAEB E
