A listener to the station I volunteer at asked if we could identify the artist responsible for song lyric..He couldn't find it on Google, and neither could I.

"Hitchhiked down to Santa Cruz to see what I could see.
Get some conversation and a drink.
Got the word that Carmen married some cat from Peru.
Looks like this time I will just be passin' through.

Even though it's hard bein' on my own,
Never stay here for long.
Because like a woman of the streets. She comes out to meet me."

The song is very similar to Bobby Bare's "That's How I Got to Memphis", but with a bit of a Cali-Mex trumpet in the chorus. Hope I've been helpful. I haven't heard it in 60 years. Good luck, and thanks.
