This song was written for the 1921 Broadway musical Bombo, in which Al Jolson played a servant accompanying Christopher Columbus to the Americas. Jolson is frequently credited as a co-writer of the song, but his authorship has not been firmly established.
When the wintry winds starts blowing
And the snow is starting in the fall
Then my eyes went westward knowing
That's the place that I love best of all
California i've been blue
Since i've been away from you
I can't wait 'till i get going
Even now i'm starting in a call
California, Here I Come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing at everything
A sunkissed miss said, "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up that golden gate
California, Here I Come
California, Here I Come (yeaaaaaah!)
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing at everything
A sunkissed miss said, "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait (come on!)
Open up (open up! open up!) that golden gate
California, Here I Come
California Here I Come was written by Joseph Meyer & Buddy G. DeSylva.
Al Jolson released California Here I Come on Thu Oct 06 1921.
