King of California

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
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
