Time to giddy-up, doo-wah diddy-up
San Francisco, San Francisco
Her lover's arms were open wide
Where the gate so golden waits with charms unfoldin'
Hold that cable car up there with pride
I gotta ride (Ride, ride)
Giddy up down to
San Francisco (Giddy up), San Francisco (Giddy up)
Where love is true as time and tide
She was seventeen though, when I left from Reno
Like some Valentino with my bride, there by my side
I panned gold from Cisco down to Frisco
How I'm missin' those days of yore (El Dorado)
Miss those frisky women, raw rye whiskey
With each kissin' we would explore (El Dorado)
For this desperado was gold in the dust
Like many a man in God do I trust
Gave up on El Dorado so lost in my lust
Where love is not for sale
Out on the end of the trail
Time to giddy up, doo-wah diddy-up
San Francisco (Giddy up), San Francisco (Giddy up)
Just like a candlestick in flame
Sportin' life did change her, shore life rearrange her
Brought her misfortune and shame
Roll on down the California flyway
The highway I have known (I have known)
Old mystery sunsets down on water
The soul of man alone
Time to giddy up, doo-wah diddy-up
San Francisco (Giddy up), San Francisco (Giddy up)
Where you'll find love is not for sale
Out at the end of the trail
Gonna ride
Ride, ride, ride, gonna ride
Gonna ride
