You were born in St. Claire's hospital
But 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 shined like your sunday shoes
And momma always said we had nothing to lose
And so we danced on the street corner

Chorus:
Oh Caroline
Caroline
Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down
Walkin' the same line through every shady southern town
Hand in hand your arm 'round mine
Caroline you do just fine

We were the guest house gang
I'll be Ozzie Smith you be Sarah my wife
Till we got traded away
To the red-clay league somewhere along the Georgia line
You be the pitcher and the catcher, too
I'm the home-run king 'fore his muscles grew
Gonna knock the cover off this time

Chorus:
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down
Walkin' the same line through every shady southern town
Hand in hand your arm 'round mine
Caroline you do just fine

Well I called you the other day
And you sounded like you'd been up all night cryin'
I used to wonder if we
Had really run away, would they discover what we were hiding?
Oh, but there ain't no way we could be so free as we were back in '83
So what's the use in even trying

Chorus:
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
I seen it all change and watch it change some more
Seen hard times standin' right outside your door
But I'd say you do just fine, you do just fine
Oh, Caroline

Oh Caroline (Caroline)
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
