South Coast (Stereo Concert version) The Kingston Trio

[Intro]
Back in California
People are kind of used to the bright lights and the freeway traffic
But I think they probably forget that a good portion of that state
Is the same as it was when the first settlers arrived many years ago
(Sadly)

We think a good example of this is the Big Sur area of the Monterey peninsula
Where in the back hills or barrancas as the Spanish called them
There are still little signs of civilization
And mountain lions are still in evidence *low guitar chord*
Say that again *low guitar chord*
Groovy lion (Heh-heh-heh)
(Toothless, auntie lion)

Anyway we think the next song could just as well have been written yesterday as it really was 150 years ago
It's called "South Coast"

[Chorus]
South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
And a man there is always alone

[Verse 1]
My name is Juan Jaro de Castro
My father was a Spanish grandee
But I won my wife in a card game
To Hell with the lords o'er the sea
