Carmen - Gene Watson

Oh Carmen, I had too much tequila

Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall

El Paso lady, you’re driving me crazy

In a language I don’t understand, you said it all

Dusty old Juarez on the old Rio Grande

It’s sure is handy when you need a friend

I don’t belong here, your dark eyes keep warning

I’ll leave in the morning but for now please let me in

Oh Carmen, I had too much tequila

Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall

El Paso lady, you’re driving me crazy

In a language I don’t understand, you said it all

--- Instrumental ---

Crossing over the border, stepping over the line

Drunk on yesterdays wine and still feeling the flame

The guitars keep playing a song that I’ve never heard

Without saying a word, you keep calling out my name

Oh Carmen, I had too much tequila

Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall

El Paso lady, you’re driving me crazy

In a language I don’t understand, you said it all

In a language I don’t understand, you said it all…
