CAROLYN Singer: Merle Haggard Writer: Tommy Collins
Carolyn, let me tell you what I 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 nightime, 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 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 and sometimes when he's lonely 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.
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.
