[Intro]
D Am C G D
[Verse 1]
D Am
Down along the railroad tracks I ran into my old friend Jack.
C G D
He was dressed in his Sunday best but his face was red and his eyes were dead.
D Am
He said, "I lost Marina, and the last place that I seen her,
C G D
She was makin' off with my best friend."
[Verse 2]
D Am
I took him to the water. I spent fifty dollars
C G D
On something that would take him to the moon.
D Am
Well he must have gone to heaven 'cause just before I left him,
C G D
I tried to wake him up but he wouldn't move.
[Chorus]
D Am
So come on, Carmelita, you drank too much and I can see that
C G D
Soon you're gonna need a breath of air.
D Am
We'll dance across the wheat field, there's a place I know just east of here
C G D
And it wouldn't take too long to go down there.
Am
We'll sleep out on the ground
C G D
And in the morning when we wake up, we'll leave town.
[Verse 3]
D Am
And I picked my last tobacco leaf, soaking wet up to my knees,
C G D
Out there before the sun was on the rise.
D Am
And you can have a drink of water, but don't you look at my daughter,
C G D
Or I'll come down there and cut you with this knife.
[Chorus]
D Am
So come on, Carmelita, you drank too much and I can see that
C G D
Soon you're gonna need a breath of air.

We'll dance across the wheat fields, there's a place I know just east of here
C G D
And it wouldn't take too long to go down there.
Am
We'll sleep out on the ground
C G D
And in the morning when we wake up, we'll leave town.

There ain't any flack man, but if you're a black man
C G D
They'll put you on a plane back to where you're from.
