Lyrics:
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 'cause 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
