Jaquima To Freno lyrics

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

Hey Mr. vaquero, put a handle on my pony for me

Teach me the mystery, Jaquima To Freno

He's an old amansador still hangin' on

Just about gone like the California condor

He's 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

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

Quién sabe, maybe it was paradise
