Song Lyrics:
I come from dear old Boston
With a washbowl on my knee
I'm going to California
The gold dust for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather, it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Dear brother, don't you cry
Oh, California!
Oh that's the land for me
I'm going to Sacramento
With a washbowl on my knee
I soon shall be in 'Frisco
And there I'll look around
And when I see the gold lumps there
I'll pick them off the ground
I'll scrape the mountains clean my boys
I'll drain the rivers dry
A pocket full of rocks bring home
So brother don't you cry
Oh, California!
Oh that's the land for me
I'm going to Sacramento
With a washbowl on my knee
