Give up work and tasking;
All Who choose be rich Jews,
Even without asking.

Turns the world frantic;
Sell your traps, and take Q berth
Across the wild Atlantic.

All whose arms brawny,
Take pick and help yoursslyes-

Yankee Doodle ell agos,
With the golden mania,
Debts no longer prove olog-
Happy Penn. yvania!
Those who about stocks and loans
Kicked up such an old dust,
Live to see the very stones
Come down with the gold dust.
Every one Who dig: and dslvs''
Take pick and help yourselves,
In happy Caiforpy.

Wear your hands quite horny,
Take pick and help yoursslvss-
