Carmelita

I hear mariachi static on my radio

And the tubes they glow in the dark

And I'm there with you in Ensenada

And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson

And I went to meet my man

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street

At the Pioneer Chicken stand

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire

With my pearl handled deck

The county won't give me no more methadone

And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter

I think I'm sinking down

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Simple Man Simple Dream

What if I fall in love with you

Just like normal people do

Well maybe I'd kill you

Or maybe I'd be true

When I go down to get a job sometime

It seems people can read my mind

And make money disappear

While they're talking sweet and kind

Well in some ways I am like a child

You never seemed to know it

And if a kind word ever crossed your mind

You never tried to show it

Well in some ways I am like a child

You never seemed to know it

And if a kind word ever crossed your mind

You never tried to show it

When people don't know what you mean

They may laugh at you and call you green

They'll say your words are stupid

And your plans are only schemes

Truth is simple

But seldom ever seen

Let nothing come between

Simple man, simple dream

Sorrow Lives Here

Written by Eric Kaz
© 1967 Embassy Music Corp (BMI)

If you see a friend and he tries to say
A girl we once knew is losing her way
It's true
I may be blue
I've seen the best years of life go through
A man that I love
And another I need
Both men have helped make the sad life I lead

Sorrow lives here in my heart
It haunts me when I sleep
I can't keep the thought of you from my dreams
Everything seems to spin all around
But I can't see
Whether it happens with or without me

Remember how perfume, my gown and silk gloves
Had teased your heart so and brought out your love
It's done
Night's breeze has blown
A chill up my spine
The world was mine
Then haughty and high
To bide my time
'Til all of my hopes
Just wish you were mine

Sorrow lives here in my heart
It haunts me when I sleep
I can't keep the thought of you from my dreams
Everything seems to spin all around
But I can't see
Whether it happens with or without me

I Never Will Marry

They say that love's a gentle thing

But it's only brought me pain

For the only man I ever loved

Has gone on the morning train
I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life
Well the train pulled out

The whistle blew

With a long and a lonesome moan

He's gone he's gone

Like the morning dew

And left me all alone
I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life
Well there's many a change in the winter wind

And a change in the cloud's design

There's many a change in a young man's heart

But never a change in mine
I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life

Blue Bayou

I feel so bad I got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles, saving dimes

Working til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fun

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I'll feel better again

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes

Working til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fun

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Oh that boy of mine

By my side

The silver moon

And the evening tide

Oh some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurting inside

Well I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou

Poor Poor Pitiful Me

Well, I lay my head on the railroad track

Waiting on the double E

But the train don't run by here no more

Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor pitiful me

Oh, these boys won't let me be

Lord, have mercy on me

Woe, woe is me

Well, I met a man out in Hollywood

Now I ain't naming names

Well he really worked me over good

Just like Jesse James

Yes, he really worked me over good

He was a credit to his gender

Put me through some changes, Lord

Sort of like a waring blender

Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor pitiful me

Oh, these boys won't let me be

Lord, have mercy on me

Woe woe is me

Well, I met a boy in the Vieux Carres

Down in Yokohama

He picked me up and he threw me down

He said, "Please don't hurt me, mama"

Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor pitiful me

Oh, these boys won't let me be

Lord, have mercy on me

Woe woe is me

Maybe Im Right

Written by Robert Wachtel

© 1973 Leadsheet Land (ASCAP)

Maybe he's right

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe what I'm saying is the way it should be

Nobody knows when the truth goes by

But everyone tells me that he's happy

Maybe he's gone and found some love

I want to see it for myself

Everyone says just to let him alone

But I can't even sleep no more it worries me so

Why

Why

Maybe I'm right

Maybe he's wrong

And maybe what he's saying is the way it should be

Somebody tried to explain it to me

But they couldn't tell me if he's happy

And I just want to know if he's still happy

Old Paint

I ride an old paint 

I lead an old dam 

I'm going to Montana 

To throw a houlihan 

They feed in the coolies 

They water in the draw 

Their tails are all matted 

Their backs are all raw 

Ride around 

Ride around real slow 

The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go 

Old Bill Brown 

Had a daughter and a son 

One went to Denver 

And the other went wrong 

His wife she died in a poolroom fight 

And still he keeps singing from morning til night 

Ride around 

Ride around real slow 

Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go 

Well when I die 

Take my saddle from the wall 

Put it on my pony 

And lead him from his stall 

Tie my bones to his back 

Turn our faces to the west 

And we'll ride the prairie 

That we like the best 

Ride around 

Ride around real slow 

Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go 

Ride around 

Ride around real slow 

Well the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

Simple Dreams Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Simple Dreams is the eighth studio album by the American singer Linda Ronstadt, released in 1977 by Asylum Records. It includes several of her best-known songs, including her cover of the Rolling Stones song "Tumbling Dice" (featured in the film FM) and her version of the Roy Orbison song "Blue Bayou", which earned her a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. The album also contains covers of the Buddy Holly song "It's So Easy!" (a top-5 hit) and the Warren Zevon songs "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" (another top-40 hit) and "Carmelita".

The album was the best-selling studio album of her career, and at the time was the second best-selling album by a female artist (behind only Carole King's Tapestry). It was her first album since Don't Cry Now without long-time musical collaborator Andrew Gold, though it features several of the other Laurel Canyon-based session musicians who appeared on her prior albums, including guitarists Dan Dugmore and Waddy Wachtel, bassist Kenny Edwards, and producer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Asher.
