I wanna go down to Cali
Find a place to settle down
I wanna go down to Cali
Find a place to settle down
But I’ll be sitting here on death row
Till I’m six feet in the ground
Well I came home late on morning
You know my wife she was still in bed
Came back from work early one morning
You know my wife she was still in bed
I found her laying there with my best friend
Somebody had shot them both dead
Shot ‘em dead already! Oh!
Oh Well they took me to the station
Oh they never had no smokin' gun
Yeah well they took me down to the station
They never had no smokin' gun
The judge said your guilty son
You gotta pay for what you done
I wanna go down to Cali
Find a place to rest my head
I wanna go down to Cali
Find a place to rest my head
Oh but I stuck here on death row
Won’t get out until I’m dead
