Carmelita
Words and Music by: Warren Zevon
Performed by: Linda Ronstadt (1977)
Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

I hear mariachi static on my radio.
And the tubes, they glow in the dark.

And I'm there with you in Ensenada.
And I'm here in Echo Park.

Carmelita, hold me tighter.
I think I'm sinkin' down.

And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson,
And I went to meet my man.

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street,
At the Pioneer Chicken stand.

Carmelita, hold me tighter.
I think I'm sinkin' down.

And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.

(Music Interlude)

Well I'm sittin' here playin' solitaire
With my pearl handled deck.

The county won't give me no more methadone,
And they cut off your welfare check.

Carmelita, hold me tighter.
I think I'm sinkin' down.

And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.

Carmelita, hold me tighter.
I think I'm sinkin' down.

And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town.
