Carolyn

by Merle Haggard

C       Dm                              Em

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

   F                                 C        Dm

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

                  C    F             G7              C

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

                                   Dm                           Em

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

      F                          C

Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey

Dm                           C              Dm

Something about the smell of strange perfume

              G7            C

Made him feel warm and not alone

Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own

    C        G7         C

And sometimes when he's lonely

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

    C                          G7    F

But Carolyn a man will do that always

When he's treated bad at home
