I STILL GOT CALIFORNIA ON MY MIND
(Hudson Whittaker (Tampa Red))

Yes, I've still got California on my mind,
And I'm going back to the one I left behind.
Now, I can't walk for talking. I can't sleep for crying.
I messed up things by leaving someone so nice and kind.
I wrote her a letter. The answer was fine,
So I've still got California on my mind.

Yes, I've still got California on my mind,
And I'll go back if I have to ride the blinds.
Well, trouble and sorrow never have a chance.
Nothing's there to bother but love and sweet romance.
The sun keeps a-shining. The weather is fine,
So I've still got California on my mind.

The sun keeps shining. The weather is fine,
So I've still got California on my mind.

[As recorded by Tampa Red, 1934. JTD]
