California Blues Songtext

von Jimmy Rogers

I'm a-goin' to California where they sleep out ev'ry night
I'm a-leavin' you, mama, cause I know you don't treat me right

(yodelahee)

Listen to me (to your daddy), mama, sing you this lonesome song
You've got me worried now but I won't be worried long

(yodelahee)

Let me tell you something, mama (good gal), that you don't know
I'm a do right pappa, and got a home ev'rywhere I go

(yodelahee)

I got the Caifornia blues, and I'm sure gonna leave you here (gal)
I may right that... I ain't got no railroad fare

(yodelahee)

(sp: Lord, Lord, Lord, yes, go South)
Now (Lord) I can't understand what makes me treat me like you do (do, do)
But if you don't want me, mama, it's the same, I don't want you
