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
Valoley 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
Valoley 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 RFD
I`m gon-na set-tle down
and nev-er more roam
