Carmalina

Carmalina, she works for Jesus
 sweeps the church, ole st. Marie
 she tried to leave once
 Juarez for phoenix
 never got nowhere
 dressed in flowers
 she spends her hours
 one by one
 drying up in the sun
 but come the twilight
 you can bet that she might
 put on her makeup
 to cover up one more time
 chorus:
 Carmalina, a Mexican prize
 won by many
 in the bars late at night
 strange behavior
 for our savior
 born a stranger to affection
 her adolescence fell by the way
 like a child actor
 she grew up too quickly
 moving so swiftly
 chorus
 alt. verse:
 when the rains came
 no one was to blame
 they wrote it off
 as they rolled her way
 my fallen angel
 I know you meant well
 my fallen angel
 I know you meant well
 my fallen angel
 I know you meant well
 Carmalina
