South Coast
Lyricist:Richard Dehr, Sam Eskin, Lillian Bos Ross, Frank Miller
South Coast, the wild coast is lonely You may win at the game at Jolon But the lion still rules the Barranca And a man there is always alone
My name is Juan Hano De Castro My father was a Spanish grandee But I won my wife in a card game To hell with the lords o'er the sea
I picked up the ace, I had won her My heart, which was down at my feet Jumped up to my throat in a hurry Like a warm summers' day, she was sweet
South Coast, the wild coast is lonely You may win at the game at Jolon But the lion still rules the Barranca And a man there is always alone
Her arms had to tighten around me As we rode up the hills from the South Not a word did I hear from her that day Or a kiss from her pretty red mouth
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We came to my cabin at twilight The stars twinkled out on the coast She soon loved the valley, the orchard But I knew that she loved me the most
South Coast, the wild coast is lonely You may win at the game at Jolon But the lion still rules the Barranca And a man there is always alone
Then I got hurt in a landslide With crushed hip and twice-broken bone She saddled our pony like lightning Rode off in the night, all alone
The lion screamed in the Barranca The pony fell back on the slide My young wife lay dead in the moonlight My heart died that night with my bride
South Coast, the wild coast is lonely You may win at the game at Jolon But the lion still rules the Barranca And a man there is always alone And a man there is always alone
