[Refrão]
               G                  
     There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 
     D  
     Stoppin' every man that she does meet 
            C 
     Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet 
                                   Am   G  
     I'll show you my place on Caroline Street 
 
    G                 D             C  
She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer 
    G                   D            C 
But I don't think she's cut a rug in years 
G              D               C 
Listens to the jukebox for her answers 
 G             D                C 
Slowly guzzles twenty-five cent beers 
 
Talks about the men she's known and then some 
She's seen them in her dreams and on the street 
She slides her dapper legs from beneath the table 
As if to reveal some kind of treat 
 
(Repeat chorus) 
 
Her lover left her stranded in Jamaica 
Just right now she can't recall his name 
Perceiving she's the center of attention 
And all the lurking eyes they look the same 
 
Weather's got the shrimpers in a frenzy 
They're horny and don't need a good excuse 
Someone yells and things just start erupting 
And in a flash all hell has broken loose 
 
(Repeat chorus) 
(guitar solo) 
 
When I woke up and looked around the barroom 
She was gone and I was black and blue 
So be careful when you go to swing your partner 
Someone just might take a swing at you
