Well I'm goin' to California

Where they sleep out every night

I'm goin' to California

Where they sleep out every night

I'm leaving you, mama

'Cause you know you don't treat me right



Let me tell you somethin'

Mama, that you don't know

Let me tell you somethin'

Good gal, that you don't know

Well, I'm a do right papa

And got a home everywhere I go



Yeah

I got the California blues and I'm

Sure gonna leave you here

Lord, Lord

I got the California blues and I'm

Sure gonna leave you here

I may ride the blind

I aint got no railroad fare



Listen to me, mama

While I sing this song

Listen to your daddy

Sing you this lonesome song

You got me wearied now

But I won't be wearied long



I got the California blues and I'm

Sure gonna leave you here

Hey, hey, hey

I got the California blues and I'm

Sure gonna leave you here

I may ride the blind

I aint got no railroad fare
