Fandango: San Joaquin [lyrics]

Fandango

San Joaquin

The autumn rains keep pourin' down

Diggin' don't come easy

Rockin' that old cradle wishin' I was home

It seems I get poorer the longer I remain

But the more I stay, the less I wanna go

Roll on, river, run golden

You'll bring back my lady

Roll on, San Joaquin River

Only you can save me

You know the dice are rollin' hot

When Lady Luck's your partner

But ain't it just like a friend of mine to run?

'Cause just when I need you

You turn your back on me

And here I thought I was your favorite son

Roll on, river, run golden

You'll bring back my lady

Roll on, San Joaquin River

Only you can save me, yeah

Roll on, river, run golden

(Roll on, roll on)

You'll bring back my lady

You got to roll on, San Joaquin River

(Roll on, roll on)

'Causе only you can save me

Oh, yeah

You got to roll

(Roll on, roll on)

Won't you roll?

Won't you roll, roll?

You'll bring back my lady

Go on and roll

(Roll on, roll on)

Won't you roll?

'Causе only you can save me

So won't you roll on, roll on?

(Roll on, roll on)

Won't you roll, roll, roll?
