Lyrics
- Where old Frisco’s Golden Gate
Leads out into the sea
I know someone’s waiting there
Waiting only for me
In her eyes, the lovelight lies
Shining brighter each day
In your red rose garden
Soon you’ll hear me say
Chorus
Rose of California
Queen of all the flowers
In sunshine’s garden
Spending golden hours
It was there, I found you
Where sunset glows
I’ll return to you dear
You’re my California Rose
- When I reach that Golden Gate
By the ocean so blue
We will set the wedding date
For I know you are true
In a little bungalow
There the future will bring
Maybe just a baby
Then to her we’ll sing
Sung here by Fred Feild:
