Verse 1:

I've traveled here, I've traveled there,
I guess I've been most ev'rywhere,
But I like where I am today,
And here is where I'll stay.

Chorus:

I've come to Californiay, Californiay;
There's gold in them there hills, in Californiay.
I've come to live where life is best,
In the golden west,
I'm gonna strike it rich in Californiay.

Verse 2:

I heard about the sunny skies,
I thought that folks was tellin' lies,
But now I'm here and I can see
It's true as true can be.

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

Now, one thing I just can't endure
Is bein' broke and bein' poor,
So, I've come out to take the cure,
I'm tellin' you for sure.

Last chorus:

I've come to Californiay, Californiay;
There's gold in them there hills in Californiay.
I've come to live where life is best,
In the golden west,
I'm gonna strike it rich in Californiay.
Californiay, Californiay,
There's gold in them there hills in Californiay.
