Cross Canadian Ragweed - Carmelita
E
I hear mariachi static on my radio
B7
And the tubes they light up the dark.
And I'm with her in Encinada
E
Stuck in Echo Park
CHORUS:
A
Carmelita, hold me tighter
E A
I think I'm sinkin down.
E B7
And I'm all strung-out on heroin
E
on the outskirts of town.
Well I'm sittin' here playin' solitare
With my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check.
Chorus
Well I pawned my Smith and Corona
and I went down to meet my man.
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
by the Pioneer Chicken stand.
Chorus 2X
