San Joaquin Songtext
von Fandango

The autumn rains keep pourin′ down, diggin' don′t come easy
Rockin' that ol' 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' hard 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)
You′ll bring back my lady (You got to roll)
Roll on, San Joaquin River (Roll on)
'Cause only you can save me (Oh, yeah)

You got to roll (Roll on)
Won't you roll? (Roll on)
Won′t you roll on? (Roll on)
You′ll bring back my lady (Whoa, whoa)
Come on and roll (Roll on)
Won't you roll on? (Roll on)
You got to roll (Roll on)
′Cause only you can save me (Whoa, whoa)
Won't you roll on? (Roll on)
Roll on (Roll on)
Won′t you roll on? (Roll on)
Roll on (Roll on)
You'll bring back my lady
