Well I’m goin’ to California where they sleep out every night
Yes I’m goin’ to California where they sleep out every night
I’m leavin’ you mama ’cause you know you don’t treat me right.
Let me tell you something that mama you don’t know
Let me tell you something good gal you don’t know
Well I’m a do-right papa
I got a home everywhere I go
I got the California blues and I’m sure gonna leave you here
I got the California blues and I’m sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the blinds
I ain’t got no railroad fare.
Let me tell you mama while I sing this song
Listen to your daddy sing you this lonesome song
You got me worried now but I won’t be worried long.
