Oh how she loved me that pretty teenage queen

But a few years after marriage she loved me no more

When I was pushin forty she was barely twenty four

Then the trouble started between Carolyn and me

I was satisfied at home but she longed to be free

Been searchin for that somethin that pastures look so green

Through the eyes of Carolyn, Carolyn the teenage queen

Each day her love grew colder at night she’d go to town

Gossip came to me Carolyn was runnin round

I didn’t want to believe it but knew it must be true

I couldn’t stand to lose her so I knew what I must do

Carolyn I was thinkin as I cleaned my gun

Go out and have a good time it’s your last night of fun

Twleve o’clock, one o’clock then a quarter till two

I’m still burnin the midnight oil waitin up for you

A car pulled in the driveway the man wore a badge and gun

Said you’ve got a wife named Carolyn I think you’d better come

In a wreck out on the highway she’d met her final end

I was starin in her face so left with life, she’d cheated me once again

Each night I think of Carolyn layin beneath the soil

Each night my mind grows weaker as I burn the midnight oil

My mind has thoughts of her bad side that my heart’s never seen

I’m still in love with Carolyn, Carolyn the teenage queen

I’m still in love with Carolyn, Carolyn the teenage queen
