Oh! I'm packing my grip



And I'm leav-in' to-day,



'Cause I'm takin' a trip



Cal-i-for-nia way



I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam



And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL0LEY my home.





I'll for-get my sins,



I'll be mak-in' new friends,



Where the West be-gins



And the sun-set ends,



'Cause I've de-cid-ed where "yours tru-ly" should be



And it's the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY for me





I think that I'm safe in stat-in'



{She - He} will be wait-in'



When my lone-ly jour-ney is done-



And kind-ly old Rev-'rend Thomas



Made us a pro-mise



He will make the two of us one.





So, I'm hit-tin' the trail



To the cow coun-try.



You can for-ward my mail



Care of R.F.D.



I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam
