Caroline

You were born in

St. Clare's

HospitalBut

I say you were born up in the sky

You come floatin' down over

New Orleans

To the sweet green levee on the riverside

And your voice shined like your

Sunday shoes

My mama always said we had nothin' to lose

So we danced on the street corner

Oh Caroline,

CarolineHeartbroken hard times never got us down

Walkin' the same line through every shady southern town

Hand-in-hand, your arm 'round mine

Caroline you do just fine

We were the gas house gang

I'll be Ozzy

Smith you be

Sierra my wife

Till we got traded away to the red clay league

Somewhere along the

Georgia line

You'd be the pitcher and the catcher too

I'm the home run king for his muscles grew

Gonna knock the cover off this time

Oh Caroline,

CarolineHeartbroken hard times never got us down

Walkin' the same line through every shady southern town

Hand-in-hand, your arm 'round mine

Caroline you do just fine

Well, I called you the other day

You sounded like you've been up all night cryin'

I used to wonder if we really run away

Would they discover where we were hidin'?

Oh, and there ain't no way we can be so free

As we were back in the '83

So what's the use in me then tryin'

Oh Caroline,

CarolineI've seen it all changin', watch it change some more

Seen hard times standin' right outside your door

But I'd say you do just fine, you do just fine oh

CarolineOh

Caroline,

CarolineOh

Caroline,

Caroline,

Caroline
