I've a longing to go
where the oranges grow,
I know a cozy nest
'way out West
and I miss it so.
California my own
Oh how lonely I've grown
that's why I'm on the run
to the one
I left there all alone.

Arm in arm
we will rove
thro' a sweet orange grove
far away in California.
Like a bird
I mean to fly West again
and I'll hold her close to my breast again
when the blossoms unfold
and the green turns to gold
some fine day in California.
You'll see a happy girlie
and a happy fellow
'mid the fields of yellow
in an orange grove.

Arm in arm
we will rove
thro' a sweet orange grove
far away in California.
Like a bird
I mean to fly West again
and I'll hold her close to my breast again
when the blossoms unfold
and the green turns to gold
some fine day in California.
You'll see a happy girlie
and a happy fellow
'mid the fields of yellow
in an orange grove.

What a beautiful day
for a bridal bouquet,
when orange blossoms bloom
bride and groom
honor and obey
where the heavens are blue
all my dreams will come true.
I just received a note
and he wrote
I'm coming back to you.

Arm in arm
we will rove
thro' a sweet orange grove
far away in California.
Like a bird
I mean to fly West again
and I'll hold her close to my breast again
when the blossoms unfold
and the green turns to gold
some fine day in California.
You'll see a happy girlie
and a happy fellow
'mid the fields of yellow
in an orange grove.

Arm in arm
we will rove
thro' a sweet orange grove
far away in California.
Like a bird
I mean to fly West again
and I'll hold her close to my breast again
when the blossoms unfold
and the green turns to gold
some fine day in California.
You'll see a happy girlie
and a happy fellow
'mid the fields of yellow
in an orange grove.
