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 Caroline Caroline 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 Caroline Caroline Caroline Caroline Caroline Caroline Caroline
