One fine morn'
Just after dawn
My love and I are ridin'
Dew on the trees
Sun in the east
Slippin' and a-slidin'

Goodbye to California
Seems like we hardly knew ya
Seems as good a time as any
To be leaving the land of plenty

With a broken heart
And a crow in the yard
My love and I are leavin'
Down the road a ways
The hills ablaze
Lookin' for a reason

Goodbye to the Old Country
Seems like you hardly knew me
Seems as good a time as any
To be leaving the land of plenty

Goodbye to the old country
Seems like you hardly knew mе
Seems as good a time as any
To be leaving thе land of plenty
Goodbye to California
Seems like we hardly knew ya
Seems as good a time as any
To be leaving the land of plenty
