CHORUS

Roll girls roll to Californ-i-o

There's plenty of gold, so I've been told

On the banks of the Sacramento

VERSE 1

As I was walkin down the quay

To me ho day, to me ho day

The prettiest boy I chance did see

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 2

His hair was blonde, his eyes were blue

To me ho day, to me ho day

His cheeks were red and sweet to view

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 3

I tipped my hat and said "how do"

To me ho day, to me ho day

He answered back "quite well thank you."

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 4

I asked him then to come with me

To me ho day, to me ho day

Down to the dock my ship to see

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 5

He quickly answered "dear me, no

To me ho day, to me ho day

"I thank you ma'am I cannot go"

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 6

"I have a sweetheart young and true

To me ho day, to me ho day

"I cannot give my love to you"

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 7

And as I bid that boy adieu

To me ho day, to me ho day

I thought gee boys like that are few

To me ho day ho day ho
