Carmelita
Fred Eaglesmith

Down along the railroad track,nI ran into my old friend Jack,nHe was dressed in his Sunday best, nBut his face was red and his eyes were dead,nnHe said, I lost Marina,nAnd the last place that I seen her,nShe was makin' off with my best friend.nnI took him to the water,nI spent $50.nOn something that would take him to the moon,nnWell, he must have gone to heaven,n'Cause just before I left him,nI tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't move,nnSo come on Carmelita,nYou drank too much and I can see that,nSoon you're gonna need a breath of air,nWe'll dance across the wheat fields,nThere's a place I know just east of here,nAnd it wouldn't take too long to go down there,nnWe'll sleep out on the ground, and in the morning when we wake up,nWe'll leave town,nnWell, I picked my last tobacco leaf,nSoaking wet up to my knees,nOut there before the sun is on the rise,nnYou can have a drink of water,nBut don't you look at my daughter,nOr I'll come down there and I'll cut you with this knife,nnSo come on Carmelita,nYou drank too much and I can see that,nSoon you're gonna need a breath of air,nWe'll dance across the wheat fields,nThere's a place I know just east of here,nAnd it wouldn't take too long to go down there,nnWe'll sleep out on the ground, and in the morning when we wake up,nWe'll leave town,nnThere ain't any flack, man,nBut if you're a black man,nThey'll put you on a plane back to where you're from,nnSo come on Carmelita...
