I'm going to California where they sleep out every night
I'm going 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, mama that you don't know
Let me tell ya something, good gal that you don't know
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, Lawd, Lawd
I got the California blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the blind, I ain't got no railroad fare
Listen to me mama, while I sing you this song
Listen to your daddy, sing you this lonesome song
You got me worried now, but I won't be worried 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 ain't got no railroad fare
