[intro]
oh, california
that’s the land for me
now i’m off to san francisco
with a washbowl on my knee

[verse 1]
i come from salem city with a washbowl on my knee
i’m going to california, the gold dust for to see
it rained all night the day i left, the weather it was dry
the sun so hot i froze to death, oh brother, don’t you cry (hey!)

[chorus]
oh, california
that’s the land for me
now i’m off to san francisco
with a washbowl on my knee

[verse 2]
i jumped aboard the largest ship that travelled on the sea
and every time i thought of home i wished it wasn’t me
the vessel reared like any horse that had of oats a wealth
i found it wouldn’t throw me so i thought i’d throw myself (hey!)

[chorus]
oh, california
that’s thе land for me
now i’m off to san francisco
with a washbowl on my knee
[verse 3]
i thought of all the pleasant timеs we’ve had together here
i thought i ought to cry a bit but couldn’t shed a tear
the pilot’s bread was in my mouth, the gold dust in my eye
and though i’m going far away, dear brother, don’t you cry (hey!)

[chorus]
oh, california
that’s the land for me
now i’m off to san francisco
with a washbowl on my knee

[verse 4]
and when i get to frisco, boys, i’ll take a look around
and when i see the gold lumps there, i’ll pick them off the ground
i’ll scr+pe the mountains clean, me boys, i’ll drain the rivers dry
a pocket full of rocks bring home, so brothers, don’t you cry (hey!)

[chorus]
oh, california
that’s the land for me
now i’m off to san francisco
with a washbowl on my knee
oh, california
that’s the land for me
now i’m off to san francisco
with a washbowl on my knee
