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)
