Carolyn The Teenage Queen
Lonesome River Band
transcribed by Logan Gibbons
Capo 4
1. Whe[G]n I was pushing thirty, she was in her teens
2. Each day her love grew colder, at night she'd go to town
3. Car pulled in the driveway, the man wore a badge and gun
1. Oh, how she loved me this pr[C]etty teenage qu[G]een
2. Gossip came to me, Carolyn was running round
3. Said you got a wife named Carolyn, I think you better come
1. But a f[G]ew years after marriage she loved me no more
2. I didn't want to believe it, but knew it must be true
3. In a wreck out on the highway she'd met her final end
1. When I was pushing forty, she was b[C]arely twenty-f[G]our
2. I couldn't stand to lose her so knew what I must do
3. I was staring in her face so deathly white she cheated me once again
1. T[D]hen the trouble started bet[C]ween Carolyn and [G]me
2. Carolyn, I was thinking as I cleaned my gun
3. Each night I think of Carolyn, laying beneath the soil
1. [D]I was satisfied at home, but [C]she longed to be f[D]ree
2. Go out and have a good time, it's you last night of fun
3. Each night my mind grows weaker as I burn the midnight oil
1. Been se[G]arching for that something, and the pastures looked so green
2. Twelve o'clock, one o'clock, till a quarter till two
3. My mind has thoughts of her bad sides that my heart's never seen
1. Through the eyes of Carolyn, Caro[C]lyn the teenage qu[G]een
2. I'm still burning the midnight oil waiting up for you
3. I'm still in love with Carolyn, Carolyn the teenage queen
