Merle Haggard — Carolyn

[Verse] 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 nighttime 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 something about the smell of strange perfume Made him feel warm and not alone [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
