Rydin' High! - Old California Lyrics

Old California
On golden hills
I hear your music resounding
Old California
Your name evokes visions
Of Old Spanish Missions
Of Patios and moonlight fiestas
Old California
Bright-eyed señoritas
I see mis chiquitas
Music and mid-day siestas
You are the heart and the soul of my song
El alma de mi cancion
Since I first met you
I can't forget you
Mi amor y mi corazón
Old California
Your bold vaqueros and proud caballeros
Horsemen of daring and mystery
Old California
Land of plenty, of gold, of glorious history
You are the heart and the soul of my song
El alma de mi cancion
I see in your face
Both beauty and grace
Mi amor y mi corazón
Old California
You work your cattle with centerfire saddle
Reata, and long tapadero
Old California
No one compares to the skill of your old-time vaquero
You are the heart and the soul of my song
El alma de mi cancion
Your vision is calling
As night, it is falling
Mi amor y mi corazón
Though I may wander
My thoughts, they grow fonder
California, you are my home
