Does anyone know
1) The words to On the Road to California that Alfafa sings. I can't make it out and my son loves it.
2) Where I can find a recording of this song (doesn't have to be the little rascals version)

The "Pinch Singer" comes to mind. I will view it later to confirm, unless someone has time to do so before then. :-)
Try an Amazon search for the song title your looking for.

I can tell what the first two lines are:
On the road to Californy
It was a hard and tedious journey
The next two I'm not sure about, since it sounds like Alfalfa isn't enunciating very well, but phonetically they sound like:
For cross the Rocky Mountains
Crystal streams and flowly fountains
That's all he sings of it.

Thanks. Gosh I wish I could find that song so I can play it for my son. I did already Google it, but it's no where to found. Thanks again.

Let me know if you find anything out about it, as I've been researching the music in the series, and couldn't find anything on that song, other than that it's 'traditional.'

Now in the spring we'll leave Nauvoo, and our journey we'll pursue
Bid the robbers all farewell, let them go to heaven or hell
cho: On the road to California, on that long and tedious journey
Far across the Rocky Mountains, crystal springs and flowing fountains
Down on Nauvoo's green grassy plain, they burned our houses and our grain
When they thought we were hell-bent, they sent for aid from the government
Oh, Governor Ford with a mind so small, hasn't room for a soul at all
He neither can be darned nor blessed, heaven or hell should do their best
