Wherever there is wit, it you look deep

from stealing beer and everything else
No man steals beer who has something

CALIFORNIA GOLD.
Air-'Dearest Mae


Come listen to me, Yankee boys, story I'll
relate,
That happened in the valley of the Califor
MA State!'
Twas down in the bottom lands, we fellows
went SO bold,
And worked like hungry tigers when we
thought about the gold.
Chorus
Oh the gold they say--'us brighter than the
day;
And when Ills mine, no! wont | shine and
drive dull care away!
MY creditors gave me year to pay them
what owe,
thank them very kindly, and then leaned for
Francisco;
And as scraped the valleys, where once the
rivers rol'd,
I filed my trousers pockets with the bright
and shining gold.
Oh, the gold, &c.
By the banks of the river where we stoop and
bend so low,
The flake we end above the ground, the Jumps
are down below!
But there is spot where sometimes, we are
told,
That when the tide is low, we'll find great
heaps Of gold!
Oh, the gold, &c.
Beneath hot and scorching sun I've worked
for many day,
Quite happy that I'd grown SO rich, and sooI
was going away,
1 had monstrous heap Of gold, when fro"
the sand twas parted;
got some boards and boxed it uP' and lher
for home | started!
Oh! the gold, they say 'Tis brighter than th
day.
And now IT'S mine, I'm 'bound to shine, ant
drive dull care away!
