Eddy Arnold - Carolyn lyrics

Carolyn let me tell you

What I've 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 night time like day.

There they say he met up with some women

Dressed in yellow and scarlet

Oh, their warm lips like a honeycomb

Dripped with honey

And there's 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

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.

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

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...
