San Joaquin

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

You got to roll
(Roll on, roll on)
Won't you roll?
Won't you roll, roll?
You'll bring back my lady
Go on and roll
(Roll on, roll on)
Won't you roll?
'Causе only you can save me

So won't you roll on, roll on?
(Roll on, roll on)
Won't you roll, roll, roll?
