King Of California
Lyricist:Dave Alvin
Well, I left my home and my one true love East of the Ohio River My father said we'd never wed For I had me no gold nor silver
But my darling dear, please shed no tears But I think that it's fair to warn you That I return to claim your hand As the King of California
Over deserts hot and mountains cold I traveled the Indian country Whispering your name under lonesome skies Remembering my only company
But my darling dear, please have no fear For I think that it's fair to warn you That I return to claim your hand As the King of California
I went up from Sacramento town Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To the Sierra gold fields And I worked my stake on a riverbank? Dreaming just how a rich man feels
Now my darling dear, listen here For I think that it's fair to warn you That I return to claim your hand As the King of California
Now the dead man's lying at my feet Who tried to steal my earnings Yet I still recall your tender kiss Though this bullet in my chest is burning
But my darling dear, please have no fear For I think that it's fair to warn you That I return to claim your hand As the King of California
That I return to claim your hand As the King of California
