Caroline

They say you were born in St Claire's hospital

I say you were born up in the sky

You come floatin' down over New Orleans

To the sweet green levee on the river side

And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes

And momma always said we had nothing to lose

And so we danced on the street corner

Oh Caroline

Round

Caroline

Heartbroken hard times they never got us down

Walkin' the same line through every single southern town

Hand in hand your arm 'round mine

Oh Caroline

Oh Caroline

Round

Caroline

I seen it all change and watch it change some more

Seen hard times standin' right outside your door

Tell me gal what's on your mind

Oh Caroline

We were the Cardinals' biggest fans

Turnin' flips like Ozzy Smith all through the night

'Til we got traded away

To the Red Clay Southern League up on the Georgia line

You be the pitcher and the catcher too

I'm the home run king before his muscles grew

Gonna knock the cover off this time

Oh Caroline

Round

Caroline

I seen it all change and watch it change some more

Seen hard times standin' right outside your door

Tell me gal what's on your mind

Oh Caroline

These are different days

And the pace of the world has us thinking there's no time

To turn the other way

Take my hand and we'll walk on down the line

Though we may be a thousand miles apart

A brother and a sister have a single heart

And the beat don t stop for nothin'

Oh Caroline

Round

Caroline

I seen it all change and watch it change some more

Seen hard times standin' right outside your door

Tell me gal what's on your mind

Oh Caroline

Oh Caroline

Oh Caroline

Oh Caroline

Oh Caroline

Oh Caroline
