San Francisco

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
