I'se won a cullud lady
she's de belle of Mobile,
Um um ma honey,
dem sporty nigs
and hightoned coons
my gal try to steal,
Um um ma honey!
Ev'ry Sunday
with my gal I'm out
The wenches and the coons all shout
when I do the promenade
on de hightone boulevard
with my own sweet Caroline,
Yes,

She's my Caroline
ma sweetness divine,
dressed in satin gowns
ma honey looks fine,
When she passes by
coons all heave a sigh,
and they shake bye bye
as she passes down de line

Yes,

She's my Caroline
ma sweetness divine,
dressed in satin gowns
ma honey looks fine,
When she passes by
coons all heave a sigh,
and they shake bye bye
as she passes down de line..

Next Sunday
at de cullud church of Zion,
I'll wed, um um ma baby;
All decked in orange blossoms
and a swell gown of red,
um um ma baby;
Then our wedding bells will sweetly chime,
with ma honey gal I'll fall in line,
Den de jealous coons will see
Parson Jackson give to me
my own love, my Caroline, yes,

She's my Caroline
ma sweetness divine,
dressed in satin gowns
ma honey looks fine,
When she passes by
coons all heave a sigh,
and they shake bye bye
as she passes down de line

Yes,

She's my Caroline
ma sweetness divine,
dressed in satin gowns
ma honey looks fine,
When she passes by
coons all heave a sigh,
and they shake bye bye
as she passes down de line..
