Caroline

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

 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
