Ian Tyson (born September 25, 1933) is a cowboy folk singer from Alberta, Canada who was born in Victoria, British Columbia.
He and his then-wife Sylvia Fricker constituted one of the most popular folk duos of the 1960s, Ian & Sylvia. Tyson gradually shifted to the cowboy way while still with Sylvia, accentuating the western life through song. Residing on a ranch in southern Alberta, Tyson tours all over the west.

Jaquima To Freno (Ian Tyson, B. McIntyre)
A Jaquima to freno
He's an old vaquero
>From another time
Hands as fine as the D Dealers of Reno
He's been to the ocean
He's been to the sea A Big long tapaderos hangin' both sides
Of an old Visalia tree
Chorus 1: EAE Hey Mr. Vaquero D Put a handle on my pony for me C# Teach me the mystery
Verse 2:
A Jaquima to freno
He's an old Amansador
Still hangin' on
Just about gone
Like the California Condor D He been down to the rodear ground
Seen him on the movie screen A Ah but sometimes I think he's like America
Only see him in your dreams
(repeat chorus 1)
Chorus 2: C#E Did they sing all day C# Did they dance all night E Did they ride their spade bit ponies C# Through the golden light E Did they find true love C# Was it all a bunch of lies EA Quien sabe, maybe it was paradise
(repeat first verse, choruses 1 and 2 in that order)
