A de O lay ee lay ee

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
O de  lay ee
Lay ee O lay ee
Listen to me  Mama
While I sing this song
Listen to your Daddy sing
You this lonesome song
You got me worried now but
I won't be worried long
O de lay ee
Lay ee O lay ee
Let me tell you somethin'
Mama  that you don't know
Let me tell you somethin'
Good gal  that you don't know
Hey  I'm a do-right Papa
And got a home everywhere I go
O de lay ee
Lay ee O lay ee
I got the California blues and
I'm sure gonna leave you 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

You treat me like you do
I cant understand how come
You treat me like you do doodle do
Now if you dont want me mama
Its a cinch I dont want you
