Carolyn (2001 Remaster) - Merle Haggard

Carolyn let me tell you what I've heard about a man today

He didn't come home from work and he went away

Till he came to a city bright in the night time like day

There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet

Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey

Somethin' about the smell of strange perfume

Made him feel warm and not alone

Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own

Sometimes when he's lonely

I believe that man might do that sometimes out of spite

But Carolyn a man will do that always when he's treated bad at home

Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own

And sometimes when he's lonely

And I believe that man might do that sometimes out of spite

But Carolyn a man will do that always

When he's treated bad at home
