Hangtown Gals
Air: New York Gals 
Put's Golden Songster:
containing the largest and most popular collection of California songs ever published
by John A Stone
San Francisco : D.E. Appleton & Co., 1858
- Hangtown gals are plump and rosy,
Hair in ringlets mighty cosy;
Painted cheeks and gassy bonnets;
Touch them and they'll sting like hornets.
Chorus
Hangtown gals are lovely creatures,
Think they'll marry Mormon preachers;
Heads thrown back to show their features-
Ha, ha, ha! Hangtown gals.
- They're dreadful shy of forty-niners,
Turn their noses up at miners;
Shocked to hear them say "gol durn it!"
Try to blush, but cannot come it.
Chorus
- They'll catch a neighbor's cat and beat it,
Cut a bean in halves to eat it;
Promenade in silk and satin,
Cannot talk, but murder Latin.
Chorus
- On the streets they're always grinning;
Modestly they lift their linen;
Petticoats all trimmed with laces,
Matching well their painted faces.
Chorus
- To church they very seldon venture-
Hoops so large they cannot enter;
Go it, gals, you're young and tender,
Shun the pick and shovel gender.
Chorus
