Edie Brickell New Bohemians Carmelito Lyrics

Carmelito Lyrics

Handsome Carmelito and the one they call Vandito



Rode fiery horses through the snow



Snow covered hills snow covered miles



Miles and miles of traveling to go



And they were wild and free



Happy as could be in America



They were wild and free



Everything to see in America, in America







Late one night by a little fire and a lot of booze



Dito woke up Lito from a snooze



Said "My friend I must confess, I pulled off her dress



And had the time of my life with your wife"



Oh, we were wild and free



Happy as could be in America



They were wild and free



What will be will be in America, in America







Blod was spilt Carmelito felt no guilt



Justice had fallen like the snow



The ground was red the ground was white



And blue was the color of the sky



He was wild and free



Happy as could be in America



He was wild and free



Better him than me in America, in America
