I'm Ggoin' to California where they sleep out every night
I'm Cgoin' to California where they sleep out every Gnight
I'm Dleavin' you mama cause you know you don't Gtreat me right
GListen to me mama while I sing you this song
CListen to your daddy singing you this lonesome Gsong
You got me Dworried now but I won't be worried Glong
GLet me tell you something mama that you don't know
CLet me tell you something good gal that you don't Gknow
I'm a Ddoright papa and got a home everywhere I Ggo
Got the GCalifornia blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here, oh Lord
CGot the California blues and I'm sure gonna Gleave you here
I may Dride the blinds, I ain't got no railroad Gfare
I Gdon't understand what makes you treat me like you do
I Ccan't understand how come you treat me like you Gdo
Now if you Ddon't want me mama it's the same I Amdon't want Gyou
