lyrics
He faced the mob of 31, Sought to become the criminal
Far from Mother Mexico, He raced to find the 31
The dusk-skinned man, Joaquin Murietta. The peacemaker, the husband
For years, he mined in Monterey, Built a home in the north world
The nationals marched on his home, Slain his brother and soiled his wife
Everyone must bear this act, So friends, it’s time they die
The blonde haired man, the Ranger Love, The speculator, the captain
Killer of the Five Joaquins, California’s failed hero
The people see Joaquin Murietta, Down in Chile, in Dakota
The Five Joaquins are thousands strong, Their hero: The Murderer
The dusk-skinned man, Joaquine Murietta
The Archangel, The Murderer
