I often think of strange land 

Place where I have never been befo' 

I often think of strange land 

Place where I have never been befo' 

Because I'm having bad luck 

Ev'rywhere I go 

Out in California 

That is where I long to be 

Way out in California 

That's where I long to be 

Because my trouble and worry 

Has really came down on me 

Sometime I wanna be in L'ousiana 

Down by the Gulf of Mexico 

Sometime I wanna be in L'ousiana 

Down by the gulf of Mexico 

And then sometime 

I don't know where in the world I wanna go 

Ain't it bad, people 

To have to give up the one you love? 

Ain't it bad, people 

To have to give up the one you love? 

It make you feel like 

Givin' yo' soul to the Lord, above 

To look in my baby's face 

Makes me feel so sad and blue 

To look in my baby's face 

Makes me feel so sad and blue 

When she's gone to a strange land 

People, it's sad she don't want you.
