Caruso Songtext

von Roy Buchanan

I was goin' across Oklahoma
And I thought I'd fall in love
Met up with a girl named Thelma
Took three months to get (unintelligible)

Made up my mind, I was gonna get myself together
I was gonna straighten up
Maybe some friends out in Colorado
'Til they found out I sold dope, and they locked me up

You just name it, and I done it
By myself or with a crowd
I didn't care just what it cost me
I feel lucky that I'm still around

Ain't gonna pull no hard-luck stories
Like a lot of peoples done
I just did it 'cause I wanted to
To me it was always kind of fun

I don't claim to be Caruso
And I'm not number one
And if you don't like my singin'
Just put the needle on some other song
Just put your needle on some other song

I don't claim to be Caruso
And I'm not number one
And if you don; t like my singin'
Just put your needle on some other song (Ya hear me?)
Put your needle on some other song
