lyrics

10) Taco ‘n Wine - m.litton

Chorus: I went down to Maria’s for a taco ‘n wine
But when I left Maria’s I’s crawlin’ on my knees a’cryin’

All the men who see her follow hot ‘n heavin’
But if you walk with Maria
She’ll lead ya down some street ‘n leave ya bleedin’
She’s a no-good Lizy, a cheap two-timin’ Gypsy
She’ll find another man on down the road
Then leave you all cuckold ‘n tipsy
(chorus)

I got silver dollar scars, they line my brow
And blood in my right eye
A hard brass ring once broke my nose
But a low mean woman ruined my life
It was a big man out in Denver
The one who laid me cold
But it was a lone Memphis woman
That took ‘n broke my mortal soul
(chorus)

She always said she would love me
Through my darkest hour
But when I cried “I need you, babe…”
She just laughed so loud ‘n called me a coward
She’s a demon lady, her flesh is made of iron
She makes her bed on a spider web
I’d had a lot better luck at lovin’ a lion

I went down to Maria’s for a taco ‘n wine
But when I left Maria’s I’s crawlin’ on my knees a’cryin’
Cause I shot her with a big gun ‘n left her dyin’
It was a long barreled gun ‘n I left her dyin’

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

I'm a creekbank ghetto boy. Began my singin' near half a century ago in Canada, then hit northeast, down thru Nashville, Austin, out to Colorado and back to Kansas where I started out and will likely remain. My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
