California Blues

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm going to California where they sleep out every night
Yeah, I’m going to California where they sleep out every night
I'm leaving you, mama
Cause you know you don't treat me right

[Verse 2]
Let me tell you something, mama, that you don’t know
Let me tell you something, good gal, that you don't know
Well, I'm a do-right papa
I got a home everywhere I go

[Verse 3]
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
Well, I ain't got no railroad fare

[Verse 4]
Well, listen to me, mama, while I sing this song
Listen to your daddy singing this lonesome song
You got me worried now
But I won't be worried long

[Verse 3 - Reprise]
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
Hey, but I ain’t got no railroad fare

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3 - Reprise]
(One more time) 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
Hey, I ain't got no railroad fare
I may ride the blinds
But I ain't got no railroad fare
