Golden Gate
Al Jolson and orchestra (Jay Blackton) Lyrics
You are talking of Heaven
When you talk of the West
And as a sample of Heaven
California is best, da-da-da-da
I'm getting tired of the rain and snow
My weary brain is cryin' Westward-Ho
Train pulls out at eleven
For that rose-covered nest
Oh, Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, I'm comin' to ya
Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, sing Hallelujah
I'll live in the sun, boom-boom, love in the moon
Where every month is June
A little sun-kissed blonde, da-da-da-da, is comin' my way
Just beyond that Lincoln Highway
I'm goin' strong now, it won't be long now
Open up that Golden Gate
Mountains and mountains, rivers and fountains
Rocks that are aged and worn
Acre after acre of the richest soil
A hundred million billion barrels of oil
Prairies and prairies, cattle and dairies
Under a heaven of blue
And right at the tail, the end of the trail
Thousands of boats sailing through that
Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, I'm comin' to ya
(Come on, get hot!)
Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, sing Hallelujah
I'll live in the sun, ah, love in the moon
Where every, where every month, every month is June
A little sun-kissed blonde is comin' my way
Right beyond that Lincoln Highway
I'm goin' strong now, it won't be long now
Open up that Golden, Golden Gate
When you talk of the West
And as a sample of Heaven
California is best, da-da-da-da
I'm getting tired of the rain and snow
My weary brain is cryin' Westward-Ho
Train pulls out at eleven
For that rose-covered nest
Oh, Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, I'm comin' to ya
I'll live in the sun, boom-boom, love in the moon
Where every month is June
A little sun-kissed blonde, da-da-da-da, is comin' my way
Just beyond that Lincoln Highway
I'm goin' strong now, it won't be long now
Open up that Golden Gate
Mountains and mountains, rivers and fountains
Rocks that are aged and worn
Acre after acre of the richest soil
A hundred million billion barrels of oil
Prairies and prairies, cattle and dairies
Under a heaven of blue
And right at the tail, the end of the trail
Thousands of boats sailing through that
Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, I'm comin' to ya
(Come on, get hot!)
Golden Gate, da-da-da-da, sing Hallelujah
I'll live in the sun, ah, love in the moon
Where every, where every month, every month is June
A little sun-kissed blonde is comin' my way
Right beyond that Lincoln Highway
I'm goin' strong now, it won't be long now
Open up that Golden, Golden Gate

Bravo, Mr. Al Jolson! :--) (CatsPJs: Many of the 78s are no longer available yet millions were sold back in the day...Is it true that many of these 78 rpm records were given up to help the war effort? Just wondering..)

@CatsPjamas1 famous actors and entertainers where sent to the soldiers to help boost mural, I believe Al may have done this I'm unsure, by the 1940s his popular had decreased so he most likely would have been in less demand to do this task.

In the uk, worndown records were sent to factors to be destroyed, there they would be crushed so they could be used to make new discs of popular songs to be sent to soliders. Therefore records form per 1939, would have been destroyed as to help the with the war effort. This was done to reduce spending and dependence on the goods to imported (in this case being shellac and other ingredients, which came form the common wealth). sellca being form india being an example. The uk did this as germany where attacking uk cargo ships, this is ONE methods which Germany's. used to effect the UK public.

I've heard that as well. They melted down the shellac of the 78s I believe.
