Carmelita lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Carmelita lyrics Down along the railroad track I ran into my old friend Jack He was dressed in his Sunday best But his face was mad and his eyes was a daze He said `I lost Marina and the last place that I d seen her she was making off with my best friend I took him to the water I spent fifty dollars On something that would take him to the moon Well he must have gone to heaven cuz just before I left him I tried to wake him up But he would not move So come on Carmelita You drunk too much and I can see that soon you re gonna need a breath of air We ll dance across the wheatfields There s a place I know just east of here It wouldn t take too long to (____?) We ll sleep out on the ground and in the morning when we wake up we ll leave town And I picked my last tobacco leaf Soaking wet up to my knees out there before the sun has (arise?)
