One More Reggae for the Road Songtext

von Schytts

She came from Madrid, just a crazy kid
Met her down in Cadiz
I think you know where that is
I'd been travelling far, playing my guitar
Pulling senioritas
They said I played like Manitas
Looking for a few pesetas
Took a job as a singing waiter
And drank tequila, danced the night away
I was sprawled across the table
And making love to a Spanish Betty Grable
I never did get to know the lady's name

Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!
Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!

She asked me to take her hand
To stay with her and to be her man
To make promises impossible to keep
I'd be delighted, even get excited
- 'Valentina, I really need some sleep'
- 'Si Senor, I will lock the door'
Next thing I knew I was crawling across the floor
Trying to find a window to get the hell out of here
Trying to keep my head above water when in came a hotel porter, he said
- 'Take your hands of my daughter and play that guitar', sing it

Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!
Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!
Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!
Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!
Everybody!
Everybody!
Everybody!

Gonna sing it to you before I go
Everybody!
Gonna sing it to you before I go
Before I go
Before I go
Before I go
Before I go
