Cowboy Junkies Miscellaneous Carmelita 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 |
