Wreck Of The Carlos Rey Lyrics - Singles - Los Lobos

Fifty traveling to work the fields 

Toil the factories and sweat the steel 

Set out to sail from Santa Rosalie 

I left you a note tacked to a tree 

Adios querida 

I'll return one day 

Now I'm leaving on the Carlos Rey 

Four cruel days under stormy skies 

Not much bread to keep us alive

The wind kicked up and the rain came down 

Then we all heard a terrible sound 

Adios querida 

Nothing more to say 

I'm lost in the wreck of the Carlos Rey 

I struggled against the pull of the tide 

I clutched my bag with your picture inside 

But my heart did break as it slipped away 

Disappearing into the gray 

Adios querida 

I've gone to stay 

Down in the wreck of the Carlos Rey 

In the dark and cold I let you go 

With the hunk of wood that I took hold 

Photos 

I sleep in a bed of salt and sand 

And dream sweet dreams of taking your hand 

Adios querida 

I'm gone away 

Down in the wreck of the Carlos Rey
