Thread Name: Origins: South Coast ^^^
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: South Coast ^^
Good point! I now see South Coast in an entirely different light.

Forwhat it's worth, I sing the following as a final stanza:

They buried her out in the orchard,
They carried me down to Jolon,
It's been fifty-five years since I lost her,
I'm a broken old man, all alone.


His delusion has really grown over time!
But then, again, I usually sing the first verse partly in Spanish, like so:

Me llamo Lonjano de Castro,
Mi padre fue gran Español,
Gané mi mujer in a card game,
To Hell with those lords and their gold!
