Hey, California you don't know me
New York city you can't show me
Anything I haven't seen at least a hundred times before
I still love you, New Orleans, Mississippi river queen
'cause when it comes to loving' you beat all I've ever seen!

And I've seen a lot of ladies in my time
I've had me a few women that were fine
Ah, but I don't need no city woman messing' with my mind
So goodbye San Francisco girl, I'm leaving' you behind.

And I've had some senoritas down in Mexico
I met a few potatoes up in Idaho
I've had a few peaches in Georgia and that San Antoine rose
If the good lord made any better
That you he's the only one who knows
