California Blues (blue Yodel No. 4) Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 

Let me tell you somethin' 

Mama, that you don't know 

Let me tell you somethin' 

Good gal, that you don't know 

Well, I'm a do right papa 

And got a home everywhere I go 

Yeah, 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 ride the blind, I ain't got no railroad fare 

Listen to me, mama 

While I sing this song 

Listen to your daddy 

Sing you this lonesome song 

You got me wearied now 

But I won't be wearied long
