Story Behind The Song

Based on a beautiful young latina girl I'd see while driving home from work

Song Description

Just listen, you'll get it

Lyrics

In a brownstone row
Just a little run down
In the shadow of the mill they call pinto town
There's a dark eyed angel and she haunts my soul
But if I am alive she'll never know
She takes in laundry and mending clothes
It's the only life she knows
I'd like to sweep her from these streets to where my heart flows
(Chorus)
And I'd sing oh Carmalita, Oh Carmalita be mine
Oh Carmalita, Carmalita be mine tonight.

Now I drive by that house like I've got places to go
Looking for her but yeah but she'll never know
And late in the evening as the shadows grow long
She'll sitting on those stairs looking wistful and sullen
Now I'm no savour I'm no king
But baby I could try
And in the night I hear voices ring
And in the wind they just cry
(Chorus)
And I'd sing oh Carmalita, Oh Carmalita be mine
Oh Carmalita, Carmalita be mine tonight.
(Bridge)
I'd steal the sadness that sleeps within her eyes
And in my madness I would make her sorrow mine

Instrumental break
(Chorus)
And I'd sing oh Carmalita, Oh Carmalita be mine
Oh Carmalita, Carmalita be mine tonight.
Of come be mine tonight
