Originally released on the Calimosho Gypsy Cumbia disc "Eshta Es"

lyrics

You know that I wanna be good lord
You know that I wanna be good
So jes turn your head away lord
Jes turn your head away

When I gotta be bad
When I gotta be bad
When I gotta be bad lordy
When I gotta be high

Now you know what I get to thinking
When I walk into a bar
Barmaid´s me a sayin´
Boy, you gonna go far


Jes turn away lord
Jes turn away
Jes turn away lordy
When I gotta get high….
