Lyrics:

From mountains high to valleys low,
they speak the name of Jamie-O
Who with his pa, went searching for
the gold in old California

By riverboat and wagon train,
old Doc McPheeters he crossed the plains

And told his son, keep moving on
there's gold in old California

Go westward ho, young Jamie-O and you'll find fortune and fame

Go westward ho, young Jamie-O and you'll find fortune and fame

And to this day when tales are told of pioneers a thousand fold
McPheeters' name still shines like gold

from Maine to old California
from Maine to old California
