Jaquima To Freno Tab

Jaquima To Freno (Ian Tyson, B. McIntyre)


Jaquima to freno

He's an old vaquero

>From another time

Hands as fine as the
		  
Dealers of Reno

He's been to the ocean

He's been to the sea

Big long tapaderos hangin' both sides

Of an old Visalia tree


Chorus 1:
		  
Hey Mr. Vaquero
		        
Put a handle on my pony for me
                   
Teach me the mystery

Verse 2:


Jaquima to freno

He's an old Amansador

Still hangin' on

Just about gone

Like the California Condor

He been down to the rodear ground

Seen him on the movie screen
	  
Ah but sometimes I think he's like America

Only see him in your dreams

(repeat chorus 1)

Chorus 2:
        
Did they sing all day
         
Did they dance all night
         
Did they ride their spade bit ponies
		   
Through the golden light
         
Did they find true love
                      
Was it all a bunch of lies
	 		     
Quien sabe, maybe it was paradise


(repeat first verse, choruses 1 and 2 in that order)
