Carmelita
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com out there before the sun has (arise?)
You can have a drink of water but don't you look at my daughter or I'll come down there and cut you with this knife
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
There ain't any flat man but if you are a black man they'll put you on a plane back from where you're from
We'll sleep out on the ground and in the morning when we wake up we'll leave town
