lyrics

She wore a red carnation
In her hair
She wore a red carnation
In her hair
She wore a red carnation
Dress so thin you could see
All of God's creation
She wore a red
Carnation in her hair

When I was young
My father said to me
When I was young
My father said to me
When I was young
My father said
Stay away from whores and liquor
You're better off dead
When I was young
My father said to me

So I went off to see
The hoochy-coochy show
I went off to see
The hoochy-coochy show
I went off to see the show
There's just so much
I really didn't know
I went off to see
The hoochy-coochy show

The red carnation
It caught my eye
The red carnation
It caught my eye
The red carnation
It caught my eye
I never knew it'd be this much
Fun to die
The red carnation
It caught my eye

She wore a red carnation
In her hair
She wore a red carnation
In her hair
She wore a red carnation
With a dress so thin]
You could see
All of God's creation
She wore a red
Carnation in her hair
