Cowboy Junkies

Cowboy Junkies - Carmelita songtekst

Je score:


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 drive there



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 is on the rise



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 drive there



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
