Lyrics

  1. Many dreams I dreamt
    Many days I spent
    By the golden gate away out west
    Flowers all year ’round
    Ev’rywhere are found
    There I left the ones that I love best

Chorus
Golden gate, golden gate by the sea
Someone’s waiting, waiting there for me
When my good ship comes a-sailing
Happy I will be, open wide
Swing aside, Golden gate
Hear me calling, calling to my mate
So, drive away Sadness
Bring back the gladness
Golden gate open for me

  1. Ev’ry day a year
    Ev’ry sigh a tear
    Since I left the land of sunny clime
    Days just seem to fly
    Clouds drifted by
    I’ll be back in orange blossom time
