Chorus:
     There's a [G]woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street
     [D]Stoppin' every man that she does meet
     Sayin' [C]if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet
     I'll show you my place on Caro[Am]line [G]Street

She [G]claimed in a loud [D]voice to be a [C]dancer
But [G]I don't think she's [D]cut a rug in [C]years
[G]Listens to the [D]jukebox for her [C]answers
S[G]lowly guzzles [D]twenty-five cent [C]beers

Talks [G] about the men [D]she's known and then[C] some
She's [G]seen them in [D]her dreams and on the [C]street
She [G]slides her dapper legs [D]from beneath the[C] table
As if [G] to reveal some [D]kind of[C]treat

There's a [G]woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street
     [D]Stoppin' every man that she does meet
     Sayin' [C]if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet
     I'll show you my place on Caro[Am]line [G]Street

Her [G]lover left her [D]stranded in [C] Jamaica
Just [G]right now she can[D]'t recall his [C] name
Perceiving [G] she's the [D]center of [C] attention
And all[G] the lurking eyes[D] they look the [C] same

Weather's [G]got the shrimpers[D] in a [C] frenzy
They're [G]horny and don't [D]need a good [C] excuse
Someone [G]yells and things [D]just start[C]  erupting
And in a [G]flash all hell has[D] broken [C] loose

There's a [G]woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street
     [D]Stoppin' every man that she does meet
     Sayin' [C]if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet
     I'll show you my place on Caro[Am]line [G]Street

When [G]I woke up and looked[D] around the [C] barroom
She was[G] gone and I was[D] black and [C] blue
So be [G]careful when you [D]go to swing your [C] partner
Someone[G] just might take [D]a swing [C] at you

(Repeat chorus twice and fade)
