Caroline

They say you were born in St. Clare's HospitalI say you were born up in the skyYou come floatin' down over New OrleansTo the sweet green levee on the riversideAnd your voice chirped like old squeaky shoesAnd mama always said we had nothin' to loseAnd so we danced on the street cornerOh CarolineHeartbroken hard times, they never got us downWalkin' the same line through every single southern townHand-in-hand, your arm 'round mineOh CarolineOh CarolineSeen it all changin', watch it change some moreSeen hard times standin' right outside your doorTell me gal, what's on your mindOh CarolineWe were the Cardinals' biggest fansTurnin' flips like Ozzy Smith all through the nightTill we got traded awayTo the red clay southern league up on the Georgia lineYou'd be the pitcher and the catcher tooI'm the homerun king for his muscles grewGonna knock the cover off this timeOh CarolineHeartbroken hard times, they never got us downWalkin' the same line through every single southern townHand-in-hand, your arm 'round mineOh CarolineOh CarolineSeen it all changin', and watch it change some moreSeen hard times standin' right outside your doorTell me gal what's on your mindOh CarolineThese are different daysAnd the pace of the world has us thinkin' there's no timeTo turn the other wayTake my hand, we'll walk on down the lineThough we may be a thousand miles apartA brother and a sister have a single heartAnd the beat don't stop for nothinOh CarolineHeartbroken hard times, they never got us downWalkin' the same line through every single southern townHand-in-hand, your arm round mineOh CarolineOh CarolineI seen it all changin', watch it change some moreSeen hard times standin' right outside your doorTell me gal what's on your mindOh CarolineOh Caroline, Oh CarolineOh Caroline, Oh CarolineOh Caroline, Oh Caroline
