Salamanca

WHEN DEATH CATCHES ME
THERE IS TO WAIT
BEATING STRONGLY THE DRUM
I HEAR HER DANCE
SALAMANCA TAKE HER AWAY

I RAN INTO A WITCH
AND UPON WAKING
I FOUND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW
SHE'S GOING TO STAY
SALAMANCA TAKE HER AWAY

THE DEVIL IS LOOKING FOR ME
HE DIDN'T FIND ME
IT SEEMS I OWE HIM AN SOUL OR TWO
SALAMANCA TAKE HIM AWAY

MY CHACARERITA IS DOUBLE
SHE'S THE ONE WITHOUT SUN
QUIET AND AT NIGHT SHE'S BETTER
I'M A SALAMANQUERO, SIR

MY WIFE HAS GONE
AND UPON WAKING I FOUND HER GRINNING
TO WORK!
SALAMANCA TAKE HER AWAY

THAT CLAW OR THE PUB OWNER BELIEVE ME
AFTER 20 WINES I DON'T TRUST HIM ANYMORE
SALAMANCA TAKE HIM AWAY

THEY'VE STOLEN A LEAN ROOSTER
AND WITHOUT FADE
NEITHER FOR FIGHT NOR FOR STEW
POOR THIEF!
SALAMANCA TAKE HIM AWAY

MY CHACARERITA IS DOUBLE
SHE'S THE ONE WITHOUT SUN
QUIET AND AT NIGHT SHE'S BETTER
I'M A SALAMANQUERO, SIR
