Oh Caroline hold me close
Let me whisper in your ear
Let me touch your golden hair one more time
I feel so cold, the end is near
Oh Caroline dry your eyes
You know how I hate goodbyes
One last kiss child, please be brave
And put one red rose on my grave
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
The love we have
Is all that we can save
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
Caroline bring my body home
I do not wish to lie alone
Let them bury me beneath the weeping willow tree
It's getting so dark, to dark to see
Caroline try to understand
The road to glory our lives pave
And as the angels take my hand
Leave one red rose on my grave
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
The love we have
Is all that we can save
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
The love we have
Is all that we can save
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
Oh Caroline hold me close
Let me whisper in your ear
The love we have
Is all that we can save
Sha na na na
Put a red rose on my grave
