Cantina Carlotta

Well I drove down to El Paso on my business
Yeah I was just another young executive workin' for the bank
When I crossed that border line I dropped my business
And I wound up for three days in the Juarez tank

Cantina Carlotta lady after I met you
Well I knew that I was ready to start somethin' new
So I dropped my Brook Brothers suits and all my fancy painted ties
Oh just for one night with Carlotta and her painted eye
[ instrumental ]
When I got out of jail I went lookin' for Carlotta
Yeah I needed some more of that sweet Affectionada
But at the cantina they told me she's gone to Guadalahara
And when I asked if she'd be back they just said d'nada

Cantina Carlotta lady after I met you...

Yeah one night with Carlotta
Ah uno noches Carlotta and her painted eye
(Yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi)
