Adelita

Adelita, Adelita
She wears my wedding ring
I could never love another
She’d grow the devil’s wings
Adelita, Adelita
She kisses me goodnight
Lord knows what she may do
When she turns off the light

I’m Adelita’s lover man
She’s the leader in command
She will fire her 45
If I run or if I hide
When she holds me in her arms
I’m enchanted by her charms
But I’m too afraid to go
Lord I’m stuck on the bayou

Adelita, Adelita
She can hear me pray
If I live or if i die
I’ll never get away
Adelita, Adelita
She’s smiling when I sleep
She sees inside my dreams
Don’t lie don’t try to cheat

I’m Adelita’s lover man
She’s the leader in command
She will fire her 45
If I run or if I hide
When she holds me in her arms
I’m enchanted by her charms
But I’m too afraid to go
Lord I’m stuck on the bayou
