"California Blues" lyrics

California Blues

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

Let me tell you something
Mama that you don't know
Let me tell you something
Good gal that you don't know
Yeah, I'm a do-right Papa
And got a home everywhere I go

I got the California blues
And I'm sure gonna leave here
Lord, Lord
I got the California blues
And I'm sure gonna leave you here
I may rob you blind
I ain't got no railroad fare
Come on in here

Listen to me, Mama
While I sing this song, Lord
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 here
Hey, hey, hey
I got the California blues
And I'm sure gonna leave you here
I may rob you blind
I ain't got no railroad fare
Honey, get over here
