These English lyric translations are not yet verified.

I hear mariachi static on my radio

I hear mariachi static on my radio

And the tubes they glow in the dark

And the tubes they glow in the dark

And I'm there with you in Ensenada

And I'm there with you in Ensenada

And I'm here in Echo Park

And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita, hold me tighter

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson

And I went to meet my man

And I went to meet my man

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street

At the Pioneer Chicken stand

At the Pioneer Chicken stand

Carmelita, hold me tighter

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire

Well I'm sitting here playing solitaire

With my pearl handled deck

With my pearl handled deck

The county won't give me no more methadone

The county won't give me no more methadone

And they cut off your welfare check

And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita, hold me tighter

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town
