California

Left a darling down in Georgia

Lost a girl to Tennessee

Now I'm goin' out to California

Where somebody cares for me

Hey there - hey there darlin'

Don't break too many hearts

Keep 'em at a distance

And you keep 'em all guessing

You got a nice hand

But never show your cards

Double bourbon on the rocks on the weekend

Four or five on Saturday night

You better watch it with the looks you're stealing

Them boys can't treat you right

Hey there - hey there darlin'

Don't break too many hearts

Keep 'em at a distance

And you keep 'em all guessing

You got a nice hand

But never show your cards

When I get to California

Kiss goodbye this southern heat

The California stars are my girls

For all the night, for all the night

Drank away my girl in Texas

Ended up in new Orleans

All the women down there knew better

Than to mess around with me

Hey there - hey there darlin'

Don't break too many hearts

Keep 'em at a distance

And you keep 'em all guessing

You got a nice hand

But never show your cards

When I get to California

Kiss goodbye this southern heat

The California stars are my girls

For all the night, for all the night

Hey there - hey there darlin'

Don't break too many hearts

Keep 'em at a distance

And you keep 'em all guessing

You got a nice hand

But never show your cards

Hey there - hey there darlin'

Don't break too many hearts

Keep 'em at a distance

And you keep 'em all guessing

You got a nice hand

But never show your cards

Don't break too many hearts

Don't break too many hearts

Don't break too many hearts
