| Came long away from California
|
| To a woman of mine
|
| I was there to stay all her money
|
| For a long long time
|
| She was rich and I was poor
|
| Her name was Sussy Moore
|
| She didn’t know that I was a gambler
|
| That lived outside the law
|
| And then I went back to California
|
| Trying to forget what happened in that mind
|
| And then I went back to California
|
| Trying to forget what I was there to find
|
| She was rich and I was poor
|
| Her name was Sussy Moore
|
| She didn’t know that I was a gambler
|
| That lived outside the law
|
| I was there to stay her money
|
| Take her rings and run
|
| Then I fell in love with the lady
|
| Got away with none
|
| And then I went back to California
|
| Trying to forget what happened in that mind
|
| And then I went back to California
|
| Trying to forget what I was there to find
|
| Came long away from California
|
| To a woman of mine
|
| I was there to stay all her money
|
| For a long long time
|
| She was rich and I was poor
|
| Her name was Sussy Moore
|
| Fell in love with a lady
|
| Didn’t get what I was looking for
|
| And now I’m back here in California
|
| (And now I’m back in ol' California)
|
| I’m getting old and my hair has turned to gray
|
| (I'm getting old and my hair has turned to gray)
|
| So many years have passed in California
|
| (So many years have passed here in ol' California)
|
| But Sussy Moore, I still love you the same ol' way
|
| (But Sussy Moore, I still love you the same ol' way)
|
