Een uit 1971 daterende lofzang van de Californische countryrockers op de Panamese variant van Cannabis Sativa. Destijds zo’n beetje het heftigste wat er in dat genre te koop was, al is het THC-gehalte van Nederwiet tegenwoordig waarschijnlijk 4x zo hoog. Ik kan me niet herinneren het ooit in Nederland gezien te hebben, maar in de VS was het bijzonder geliefd. The judge don’t know when Red’s in town /He keeps well hidden underground /But everybody’s acting lazy /Falling out and hangin’ ‘round. 
Panama Red, Panama Red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
He come breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
ol’ Panama Red
The judge don’t know when Red’s in town
He keeps well hidden underground
But everybody’s acting lazy
Falling out and hangin’ ‘round
My woman said, “Hey Pedro
you’re actin’ crazy like a clown”
Nobody feels like working
Panama Red is back in town
Panama Red, Panama Red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
On his white horse, Mescalito
He come breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
ol’ Panama Red
Everybody’s looking out for him
‘Cause they know Red satisfies
Little girls love to listen to him
Sing and tell sweet lies
But when things get too confusing, honey
You’re better off in bed
And I’ll be searching all the joints in town for
Panama Red
Panama Red, Panama Red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
On his white horse, Mescalito
He come breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
ol’ Panama Red
