I'm going to California where they sleep out every night
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
Oh de lay ee, lay ee, Oh lay ee
Listen to me mama, listen while I sing you this song
Listen to your daddy, sing you this song lonesome song
You got me worried now, but I won't be worried long
Oh de lay ee, lay ee, Oh lay ee
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
Oh de lay ee, lay ee, Oh lay ee
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 blind, I got no railroad fare
Oh de lay ee, lay ee, Oh lay ee
Follow the same changes as the verses and you should be fine.
I don't understand, what makes you treat me like you do?
I can't understand, how come you treat me like you do doodle do?
Now if you don't want me mama, it's a cinch I don't want you
Oh de lay ee, lay ee, Oh lay ee
