lirik lagu dave stamey - south coast
[verse 1]
my name is juan jallo de castro
my father was a spanish grandee
and i won my wife in a card game
so to h~ll with those lords o’er the sea
in my youth i had a monterrey homestead
creeks, valleys, mountains all mine
and i built me a snug little shanty
and i roofed it with monterrey pine
i had me a bronco of buckskin
like a bird he could fly o’er the trail
when i rode out 40 miles every friday
for some grub or to pick up my mail
[chorus]
but the south coast is a wild coast and lonely
you might win at a game of jalon
but the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there’s always alone
[verse 2]
i sat in a card gamе at jalon
i played there with an hombrе named juan
and after i’d taken all his money
i bid all against his daughter dawn
i picked up the ace, i had won her
and my heart which had been down at my feet
jumped up to my throat in a hurry
was like a warm summer day, she was sweet
[verse 3]
he opened the door to the kitchen
and called the girl in with a curse
saying “take her godd~mn ya, you won her
she’s yours now for better or worse”
her ams had to tighten around me
as we rode up the trail from the south
not one word did i hear from her that day
nor a kiss from her pretty red mouth
[verse 4]
and we soon reached the valley at twilight
and the stars twinkled out o’er the coast
she soon loved the valley and the orchard
but i knew she loved me the most
and that was a gay happy winter
i carved on a cradle of pine
and there in that snug little shanty
i sang with that sweet wife of mine
[chorus]
but the south coast is a wild coast and lonely
you might win at a game of jalon
but the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there’s always alone
[verse 5]
one night i got hurt in a landslide
crushed hip, twice~broken bone
she saddled her pony just like lightning
rode off to find the doctor at jalon
but a lion screamed in the barranca
buck he bolted and he fell on a slide
my young wife lay dead in the moonlight
and my heart died that night with my bride
they buried her out in the orchard
and they carried me down into town
now i’m left here with these memories
i’m an old broken man all alone
the cabin still stands on the hillside
the door open to the rain
and i’m living down here in jalon
i can never go back there again
[chorus]
but the south coast is a wild coast and lonely
you might win at a game at jalon
but a lion still rules the barranca
and a man there’s always
always alone
