My darling, I have wronged you
Down the devil's path I have roamed
Regret, sadness and sorrow
Now in my soul have found a home
My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Yeah, forgiveness I pray
A fool to temptation
Oh, I surely played
I come to you for salvation
Have mercy in love's name
My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Yeah, forgiveness I pray
The chilling cry of sin's wrath
Sings like thunder through my head
I find no rest, now no comfort
In a cold dark lonely bed
My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Yeah, forgiveness I pray
My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Yeah, forgiveness I pray
