Caruso

I was goin' across Oklahoma

And I thought I'd fall in love

Met up with a girl named Thelma

Took three months to get (unintelligible)

Made up my mind,I was gonna get myself together

I was gonna straighten up

Maybe some friends out in Colorado

'Til they found out I sold ****,and they locked me up

You just name it, and I done it

By myself or with a crowd

I didn't care just what it cost me

I feel lucky that I'm still around

Ain't gonna pull no hard-luck stories

Like a lot of peoples done

I just did it 'cause I wanted to

To me it was always kind of fun

I don't claim to be Caruso

And I'm not number one

And if you don't like my singin'

Just put the needle on some other song

Just put your needle on some other song

~~~~~~

I don't claim to be Caruso

And I'm not number one

And if you don’t like my singin'

Just put your needle on some other song (Ya hear me?)

Put your needle on some other song
