Well I'm goin' to California

Where they sleep out every night

I'm goin' to California

Where they sleep out every night

I'm leaving you mama

'Cause you know you don't treat me right

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 blind

I aint got no railroad fare

Well I'm going to California

Where they sleep out every night

I'm going to California

Where they sleep out every night

Oh Lord I'm leaving you gals

You know you don't treat me right

Talk about your troubles

Lord that's all I've ever known

Now if I hadn't been a good man

I could not have stayed at home

Well I'm going to California

Where they sleep out every night

I'm going to California

Where they sleep out every night

Oh Lord I'm leaving you gals

You know you don't treat me right
