Tin horn gamblers crooked games And dance hall girls to entertain The miners and their fortunes share
 
There in the bar at the Last Chance Saloon Rosie would dance to a rinky dink tune As the girls in the line did their tah rah boom dee ay The miners would clink their glasses and say
 
Yeah Rosie's the Queen of Californy Rosie's the love of my life When I hit that solid vein that I know is on my claim Rosie said she'd be my wife
 
All day on my claim I've been breakin' muh back Washin' the sand tryin' to fill up muh sack But it's worth all the gold that I dug out today To see her put in the tah rah boom dee ay
 
Yeah Rosie's the Queen of Californy...
 
[ piano ] Ah the way to go Rosie ha ha ha ha ha come on kid Set 'em up again over here ha ha ha go Rosie
 
Rosie's the Queen of Californy Rosie's the love of my life When I hit that solid vein that I know is on my claim Rosie said she'd be my promise that she'd be Rosie said she'd be my wife
