Roy Clark - Carolyn lyrics

rate me

(Tommy Collins)

Carolyn let me tell you what I heard bout a man today

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

Till he came to a city bright in a 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

And something about the smell of strange perfume

Made him feel warm and not alone.

Yes Carolyn. a man will do that sometimes on his own

And sometimes when he's lonely

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

But Carolyn a man will do that always

When he's treated bad at home.

--- Instrumental ---

Yes Carolyn, a man will do that sometimes on his own

And sometimes when he's lonely

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

But Carolyn a man will do that always

When he's treated bad at home...
