Left a darling down in Georgia
Lost a girl to Tennessee
Now I'm goin' out to California
Where somebody cares for meHey 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 cardsDouble 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 rightHey 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 cardsWhen I get to California
Kiss goodbye this southern heat
The California stars are my girls
For all the night, for all the nightDrank away my girl in Texas
Ended up in new Orleans
All the women down there knew better
Than to mess around with meHey 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 cardsWhen I get to California
Kiss goodbye this southern heat
The California stars are my girls
For all the night, for all the nightHey 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 cardsHey 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 cardsDon't break too many hearts
Don't break too many hearts
Don't break too many hearts
