SAN JOAQUIN
(Written by Molly Tuttle & Ketch Secor)

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
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
