Lyrics
- Oh! you old Pacific coast
Oh! you land I love the most
Soon I’ll be returning to you
To my sweetheart loving and true
I just mailed a little note
Written to the one I miss
Just a simple little note
I began by saying this
Chorus
Don’t you remember California in September?
As we stood in the wood ‘neath the beautiful sky
I made you cry when I whispered good-bye
But dearie, don’t you remember
That I promised I’d be true?
So expect a choo choo
That’s bringing me back to California and you
- Oh! you orange scented air
Oh! you train that brings me there
Every other country I see
Only makes you dearer to me
Thro’ my Pullman window pane
As my station’s drawing near
I can hear myself again
Singing in my honey’s car
