Paroles de Cantina Carlotta

Well I drove down to El Paso
On my business
Yeah I was just another executive
Workin for the bank
But when I 'crossed that border line
I dropped my business
And I wound up for three days
In the Juarez tank

Chorus:
Cantina Carlotta lady
After I met you
Well I knew that I was ready
To start something new
So I dropped my Brook Brothers suit
And all my fancy painted ties
ahhhh Just for one night with Carlotta
and her painted eyeee ... yi ... yi's

And 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 Guadalajara
And when I asked it she'd be back yi yi yi yi yi
yi yi,yi yi yi, etc.
