South Coast - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Written by：Ross Eskin[00:00:04]

My name is Juanano de Castro[00:00:09]

My father was a Spanish Grandee[00:00:14]

But I won my wife in a card game[00:00:19]

To hell with those Lords o'er the sea[00:00:23]

Well the south coast is wild coast and lonely[00:00:29]

You might win in a game at Cholon[00:00:33]

But a lion still rules the Barranca[00:00:40]

And a man there is always alone[00:00:44]

I played in a card game at Jolon[00:00:55]

I played there with an outlaw named Juan[00:00:59]

And after I'd taken his money[00:01:03]

I staked all against his daughter Dawn[00:01:07]

I picked up the ace l had won her[00:01:14]

My heart it was down at my feet[00:01:18]

Jumped up to my throat in a hurry[00:01:22]

Like a young summer's day she was sweet[00:01:26]

He opened the door to the kitchen[00:01:32]

And he called the girl out with a curse[00:01:36]

Saying take her Godd**n her you've won her[00:01:40]

She's yours now for better or worse[00:01:45]

Her arms had to tighten around me[00:01:51]

As we rode down the hills to the south[00:01:55]

Not a word did I hear from her that day[00:01:59]

Nor a kiss from her pretty young mouth[00:02:03]

But that was a gay happy winter[00:02:09]

We carved on a cradle of pine[00:02:13]

By the fire in that neat little cabin[00:02:17]

And I sang with that gay wife of mine[00:02:21]

Well the south coast is wild coast and lonely[00:02:27]

You might win in a game at Cholon[00:02:31]

But a lion still rules the Barranca[00:02:37]

And a man there is always alone[00:02:41]

That night I got hurt in a landslide[00:02:49]

Crushed hip and twice broken bone[00:02:53]

She saddled her pony like lightning[00:02:57]

And rode off for the doctor in Cholon[00:03:01]

The lion screamed in the Barranca[00:03:07]

Buck he bolted and he fell on his side[00:03:11]

My young wife lay dead in the moonlight[00:03:15]

My heart died that night with my bride[00:03:21]

Well the south coast is wild coast and lonely[00:03:27]

You might win in a game at Cholon[00:03:31]

But a lion still rules the Barranca[00:03:37]

And a man there is always[00:03:41]

Alone[00:03:45]
