The Rose of the San Joaquin |
Farewell to the lights of Madera, I’m leaving with the wind at my back |
Tell all of my friends in Dos Palos, I’m gone but I’ll be circling back |
Now I’m crossing the Chowchilia River |
By the light of a ragged moonbeam |
Lord I’ll miss the Rose of San Joaquin |
I’ll miss the sun on the Sierra Nevadas, adobe moon on the rise |
Shining down on my love in Madera, shining into her dark Spanish eyes |
Oh she taught me those Mexican love songs |
«Volver, Volver» in my dreams |
And I miss the Rose of San Joaquin |
Caught somewhere between |
The road and the Rose of San Joaquin |
Oh her black hair fell on the blanket in the tall grass we with the dew |
Making love through the night by the river |
Oh Magdalene how my heart cries for you |
Alone on this highway of darkness |
You are the light of my dreams |
And I miss the Rose of San Joaquin |
Caught somewhere between |
The road and the Rose of San Joaquin |
