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
Here forgiveness I pray
A fool to temptation
Well, 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
Here forgiveness I pray

The chilling cry of sin's wrath
Sounds 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
Here gorgiveness I pray

My sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Here forgiveness I pray
