Jimmie Rodgers — Blue Yodel #4 lyrics

Lyrics

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
Listen to me, mama while I sing you this song
Listen to your daddy sing you this lonesome song
You got me worried now but I won’t be worried long
Let me tell you somethin' mama, that you don’t know
Let me tell you somethin' good gal, that you don’t know
I’m a do right papa and got a home everywhere I go
Got the California blues and I’m sure gonna leave you here, Lord, Lord
Got the California blues and I’m sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the blind, I ain’t got no railroad fare
I don’t understand what makes you treat me like you do
I can’t understand how come you treat me like you do do-do-do
Now if you don’t want me mama, it’s a cinch I don’t want you
