I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you in Encenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Refrain:
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 at Alvarado Street
At the county chicken stand
Refrain
Well I'm sittin' here playin' Russian Roulette
With my pearl handled gun
The county won't give me any more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Refrain Two Times
recorded by GG Allin & The Criminal Quartet (1991)
based on the song Carmelita written by Warren Zevon
