by Lillian Bos Ross, Sam Eskin, Dehr & Frank Miller
(Arlo's version is from the singing of Jack Elliott)

My name is Juanano de
My father was a Spanish
But I won my in a card game
To hell with those lords the sea

Well the South Coast is coast and lonely
You win in a game at Jolon
But a lion rules the Barranca
And a man there is always

in my youth i had a Monterey
fields,creeks,mountains all
and i built me a snug little
and i it and floored it with pine

i had a bronco,buckskin,
like a bird he flew over the
when we'd out 40 miles every friday
for grub and to pick up my mail

I sat in a game at Jolon
I played with an outlaw named Juan
And after I'd taken his
I all against his daughter Dawn

I up the ace...l had won her
My heart it was at my feet
Jumped up to my throat in a
Like a young summer's day she was

He opened the to the kitchen
And he the girl in with a curse
Saying "Take her, Goddamn ya, won her
She's now for better or worse"

Her arms had to around me
As we rode down the hills to the
Not a word did I hear from her day
Nor a kiss her pretty red mouth

well we reached the valley of twilight
and the stars twinkled out over the
she soon loved the and the orchards
but i it was me she loved the most

That was a gay winter
We carved on a cradle of
By the fire in that little cabin
And I with that gay wife of mine

That night I got hurt in a
hip and twice broken bone
She saddled her pony like
And off for the doctor in Jolon

The screamed in the Barranca
Buck, he bolted and he on the slide
My young wife lay dead in the
My heart died that with my bride

they her out in the orchard
me up to Jolon
now i'm with these memories
i'm an old man all alone

the still stands on the hillside
the door to the rain
and i'm living up here in
and i never can go back there
