JIMMIE RODGERS
"Blue Yodel No. 4 (California Blues)"

I'm goin' to California where they sleep out every night
I'm goin' to California where they sleep out every night
I'm leavin' 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 singing you this lonesome song
You got me worried now but I won't be worried long

Let me tell you something, mama, that you don't know
Let me tell you something 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, lawd, lawd
Got the California blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the blinds, 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
Now if you don't want me, mama, it's the same, I don't want you
