Cowboy Junkies - Carmelita Lyrics

Send "Carmelita" ringtone to your cell

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?)

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
