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
