Esquerita Songtext
von Big Audio Dynamite

Out of Greenville, South Carolina
From a roadhouse, out-pub, in a Sister Rosa
Down at Dallas, and the Dew Drop Inn
The farthest that a man can go and back again
It was in Macon, at an all-night diner
Trying to catch some, it was me took a shiner
He said I′d better give him some of my old clothes
He's in the wrong place, wrong time, and nobody knows
His real name was Escarita
Everybody knew him as Escarita
Black Flash Gordon rocket 58
Rock arounds bustin′ out in a state
Through the green door, there's a gospel piano
Dressed in sequins, war paint, listen to him holler
I guess the Georgia peach came a little too late
Rock arounds bustin' out in a state


His real name was Escarita
Everybody knew him as Escarita
Black Flash Gordon rocket 58
Rock arounds bustin′ out in a state
Been a long time, here in California
Western Union, I heard from Sister Rosa
The telegram said that Stuart passed away
Well now preacher, what you gotta say?
His real name was Escarita
Everybody knew him as Escarita
Black Flash Gordon rocket 58
Rock arounds bustin′ out in a state
His real name was Escarita
Beat up on his woman with a vacuum cleaner
Black Flash Gordon rocket 58
Rock arounds bustin' out in a state
