I often think of strange land

Place where I have never been befo'

I often think of strange land

Place where I have never been befo'

Because I'm having bad luck

Ev'rywhere I go



Out in California

That is where I long to be

Way out in California

That's where I long to be

Because my trouble and worry

Has really came down on me



Sometime I wanna be in L'ousiana

Down by the Gulf of Mexico

Sometime I wanna be in L'ousiana

Down by the gulf of Mexico

And then sometime

I don't know where in the world I wanna go 



Ain't it bad, people

To have to give up the one you love?

Ain't it bad, people

To have to give up the one you love?

It make you feel like

Givin' yo' soul to the Lord, above



To look in my baby's face

Makes me feel so sad and blue

To look in my baby's face

Makes me feel so sad and blue

When she's gone to a strange land

People, it's sad she don't want you.
