Buffett, Jimmy - Woman Goin' Crazy On Caroline Street Lyrics






[Chorus:]
There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline street
Stoppin' every man that she does meet
Sayin' if you be gentle, if you be sweet
I'll show you my place on Caroline street

She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer
But I don't think she's cut a rug in years
Listens to the juke box for her answers
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

[Chorus]

Her lover left her stranded in Jamaica
And just right now she can't recall his name
Perceiving she is 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
In a flash all hell has broken loose

[Chorus]

When I woke up and looked around the bar room
She was gone and I was black and blue
So be careful when you go to swing your partner
`Cause someone might just take a swing at you

[Chorus]

    Jimmy Buffett before he lost his damn mind

  2. J.... H....

    So be careful when you go to swing your partner,
    Someone might just take a swing at you.

  3. j.... m....

    Yes siree Marvin Gardens

  4. J.... D....

    I moved to Fla in 75
    Met a Fla hippie who turned me on to this.
    I am going looking for God's own drunk.

    J.... D....

    I hope your found it.

  5. k.... e....

    Old song but sweet good song .

  6. S.... R....

    No. Her name was Ashley Simmons and her story was not sad. She was given a very nice mansion by an older lover. Her fling with JB did not end well.

  7. r.... w....

    Need to get back to Caroline St......

  8. r.... w....

    Its a real place... I highly recommend going to see it

    r.... w....

    Go live it.

  9. P.... S....

    Love KW. Thanks for the music, JB. I appreciate that you responded to your calling.

  10. J.... H....

    Her name was Nomestae and she lived on the corner of Caroline street and Duval. On the third floor of the conk house on the corner. Saw her streek through lou's bar once.

  11. J.... P....

    The stories he can tell!!!

    J.... P....

    The story's that anyone who spent a minute in KW can tell. KW does not change, only the visitor's do. KW forever!

  12. K.... W....

    His last good album before becoming famous. Now he just plays for the Parrotheads. Once upon a time he wrote some good songs, but that was long ago.

    K.... W....

    I haven't heard his music in about 35 years. How is his later music different than his 70s material?

    K.... W....

    It's not, same great writing same great sound. There always a person that tries to act like they were there first. Obviously knows nothing about his music

    K.... W....

    Seeing as how Steve Goodman was a writer for his songs, and is now dead, how would Buffet be writing good songs now?

  13. K.... S....

    Heh, is this Caroline Street (US 90) in Milton, Florida?

    K.... S....

    sure id pardner :) sure is.....now listen to the entire FLoriday's album, and think about how that in of itself is Hemingway with a guitar :)

    K.... S....
