San Joaquin

Riding on the San Joaquin Bringing in some Humboldt green Watch out for that bully, he'll pick your pockets clean Toss you in Tehachapi When I get to Richmond, I'll be gold Soon as this suitcase is sold 'Til then I'm rolling down the line Just looking for the next high time Riding on the San Joaquin Well, the San Joaquin is a mighty good line There's a mighty good chance, she'll blow your mind Each time you hear that whistle blow I'm smugglin' in another load Riding on the San Joaquin Bringing in some Humboldt green I'm just rolling down the line Looking for the next high time Riding on the San Joaquin Police banging on the boxcar door Brakeman threw me overboard Hit the ground and I clicked my heels Hopped back on in Bakersfield Riding on the San Joaquin Bringing in some Humboldt green Watch out for that bully, he'll pick your pockets clean Toss you in Tehachapi When I get to Richmond I'll be gold Soon as this suitcase is sold 'Til then I'm rolling down the line Just looking for the next high time Riding on the San Joaquin Well the railroad queen, she wants to ride, but I ain't ready to go Just got a few more hearts to break 'til I reach the end of the road Riding on the San Joaquin Fastest you ever seen And when my riding days are o'er Toss me in a baggage car Put that reefer in my mouth Spark it up and send me south Riding on the San Joaquin
