You Who Don't Believe It
Air: Blue-tailed Fly 
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
There is no land upon the earth,
Contains the same amount of worth;
And he that could not here reside,
Had ought to freeze the other side!
CHORUS
You who don't believe it,
You who don't believe it,
You who don't believe it,
Come yourselves and see!
We've got more gold than all the world,
A flag that wins whene'er unfurled,
And smarter men to help us through,
Than England, France or Mexico.
CHORUS
We've smarter ships than Johnny Bull,
Larger sheep with finer wool;
A prison too! you cannot fail
To throw a Bull through by the tail.
CHORUS
We raise the largest cabbage heads,
Got more and better feather beds;
Of everything we've got the best,
An thieves until you cannot rest.
CHORUS
All ruffianism now is o'er,
The country's safer than before;
Our cities keep the rowdies straight,
Or send them through the Golden Gate.
CHORUS
We've got the highest mountains here,
Taller trees and faster deer,
And travel more, at higher rates,
Than people in the Eastern States.
CHORUS
We've got the smartest river boats,
And, ten to one, old whiskey bloats;
We're blest with very heavy fogs,
And any amount of poodle dogs!
CHORUS
We've got a few unmarried g'hals,
Railroads, ditches and canals;
Although we did repudiate,
A joke 'twas only to create.
CHORUS
To one and all, both young and old,
You're welcome to the land of gold;
So come along, be not afraid,
We guarantee you all well paid!
CHORUS
