Intro: G D C D GG 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 youG 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
