CHORUS

Roll boys 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 face I chance did see

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 2

Her hair was blonde, her eyes were blue

To me ho day, to me ho day

Her 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

She answered back "quite well thank you."

To me ho day ho day ho

CHORUS

VERSE 4

I asked her 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

She quickly answered "dear me, no

To me ho day, to me ho day

"I thank you sir 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 girl adieu

To me ho day, to me ho day

I thought gee girls like that are few

To me ho day ho day ho
