[Verse 1]
There was a California earthquake, in the year of '83
It shook the living daylights out of the Owens County Seat
Not a building was still standing when the dust had cleared away
And there was a rumble in the distance all the way to San Andrea
[Verse 2]
Sherman Buck was driving his old mule into town
When a big one came and shook so hard, that it knocked him to the ground
Lord there opened up a hole so big, he thought his time was up
And it swallowed up that poor old mule and it just missed Sherman Buck
[Chorus]
California earthquake you just don't know what you've done
We may fall off in the ocean, but you'll never make us run
You're a partner to the devil, but we ain't afraid of him
We'll build ourselves another town so you can tear it down again
[Verse 3]
Then came the quake of '99 that levelled Mission Creek
The earth was like an ocean churning, with waves of twenty feet
Lord it sounded like a thousand trains were screaming underground
All the way to San Joachim they heard that mournful sound
[Chorus]
