Carolyn
Merle Haggard
1971 album Someday We'll Look Back
Intro C Dm Em Dm C
Verse 1
C Dm Em
Carolyn let me tell you what I heard about a man today
F C
He didn't come home from work and he went away
Dm C F G7 C
'Til he came to a city, bright in the nightime like day
Verse 2
C 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
And somethin' about the smell of strange perfume
Dm G7 C
Made him feel warm, and not alone
Chorus 1
C F
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
C G7 C
And sometimes when he's lonely
F
I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
C G7
But Carolyn, a man will do that always
F C Dm Em Dm C
When he's treated bad at home
Outro
C F
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
C G7 C
And sometimes when he's lonely
F
And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
C G7
But Carolyn, a man will do that always
F C Dm Em Dm C
When he's treated bad at home
