Caroline Songtext / Lyric

Well I met an old money

Whose mouth was made of trash

He liked to travel

But he don't carry cash

It was five bones a day

That's the price that he paid

And I made sure as hell

He was dead to me



And he had a girl

Named Caroline Pearl

And she was soft and sweet

And she was made of salt

But that wasn't her fault

And her hands were soft

Like slavery






She said

Pay me my pills

That'll pay me my bills

Or at least help me sleep

Through the night

And no straight line

Oh Miss Caroline

She'll die

Or she'll be my wife



Now she was

Heavy up top

That show's she's

Sweet in the teet

I was showing my teeth

That show's she

Sweet the meat

And I struck the good book

With a double-edged sword

God sent my mother

I don't fight God no more

And it was

Full steam ahead

Land ho, is that

Tennesee?

Saw myself hang myself

Up in the family tree

Gotta understand

This wasn't part of the plan

You work a good job

And I work the land



Oh

Pay me my pills

That'll pay me my bills

Or at least help me sleep

Through the night

And no straight line

Oh Miss Caroline

She'll die

Or she'll be my wife

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Oh I muscled away for your love

I told the devil I'd hang for your love

I, I broke the chain

I broke the brain

I did it all for your love

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline

Caroline
