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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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, 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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'
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
