Standard (EADGBE)

 INTRO

 left a darling down in Georgia lost a girl to Tennessee

now I’m going' out to California where somebody cares for me

 hey there - hey there darlin'

 don't break too many hearts

 keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing

 you got a nice hand but never show your cards

 double bourbon on the rocks on the weekend four or five on Saturday night

you better watch it with the looks you're stealing them boys can't treat you right

 hey there - hey there darlin'

 don't break too many hearts

 keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing

 you got a nice hand but never show your cards

 when I get to California kiss goodbye this southern heat

 the California stars are my girls for all the night, for all the night

X4

 drank away my girl in Texas ended up in new Orleans

all the women down there knew better than to mess around with me

 hey there - hey there darlin'

 don't break too many hearts

 keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing

 you got a nice hand but never show your cards

 when I get to California kiss goodbye this southern heat

 the California stars are my girls for all the night, for all the night

X4

 hey there - hey there darlin'

 don't break too many hearts

 keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing

 you got a nice hand but never show your cards

 hey there - hey there darlin'

 don't break too many hearts

 keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing

 don't break too many hearts X3
