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
