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
    [Chorus]
  My Sweet Caroline
  From your loving arms I've strayed
  In your heart may you find
  Forgiveness I pray
  A fool to temptation
  I surely played
  I come to you for salvation
  Have mercy in love's name
    [Repeat Chorus]
    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
    [Repeat Chorus (2x)]
