"Way down East" they have the ague
Unity they, shake, shake, shake;
But here in California
We prefer an earthquake
In some Stales they have the blizards,

But out here in San Francisco

Beside her bays of misty blue;
The gayest hearts, the sweetest air
That any city ever knew
For I have whistled all the songs
That thrilled upon her care-free breath,
And I have mingled…

Shanghaied in San Francisco,
And we fetched up in Bombay
They set us afloat on an old Leith boat,

We have saved our hides, and…

And darkness of catastrophe:

Through ashes of thine agony;
Still foams the brine upon thy breast
Where great ships gather to their rest,…

Now Molly scrubs the kitchen clean
And fumigates the food,
She germicides the soup tureen
And also boils the wood;
And ere she goes, at twilight cool,
To do the milking now,
She boils her hands, the milking stool,…

That loved, now ashes at our feet,
Stifle, they cry-who dares to weep?

Obscures her stricken brow
She weeps above her dead that lie
Uncounted in the gloom
With ashes for a winding-sheet
And cinders…

Hushed the music of the flall
There a villian held a mortgage
On the dear old farmhouse roof:
