Well I left my home and my one true love
East of the Ohio River
Her father said we'd never wed
For I had no gold nor silver
Oh my darling dear, please have no fear
I think it's fair to warn you
That I'll return to claim your hand
As the king of California
Over deserts hot and mountains cold
I traveled the Indian country
I called your name to the lonesome wind
Remembering my only company
Oh my darling dear, please have no fear
I think it's fair to warn you
That I'll return to claim your hand
As the king of California
I went up from Sacramento town
To the Sierra gold fields
I worked my claim on a river bank
Dreaming just how a rich man feels
Oh my darling dear, please have no fear
I think it's fair to warn you
That I'll return to claim your hand
As the king of California
There's a dead man lying at my feet
He tried to steal my earnings
I recall your tender kiss
Though this bullet in my chest is burning
Oh my darling dear, please have no fear
I think it's fair to warn you
That I'll return to claim your hand
As the king of California
As the king of California
