Be Good To California, Mr. Wilson 1916

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 04 Mar 2003

We thank you, California,
for the thing that you have done,
tho' he's not a native son
you have treated him like one,
the nation takes its hat off
to the great and golden West,
California, you have stood a mighty test:

Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was good to you,
and don't forget 'twas votes for women
helped to win the vict'ry too,
for when the tide
was turning fast against you,
she made your dream come true,
Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was mighty good to you.

Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was good to you,
and don't forget 'twas votes for women
helped to win the vict'ry too,
for when the tide
was turning fast against you,
she made your dream come true,
Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was mighty good to you.

From Maine to California
they went rolling on with Hughes,
and we waited for the news,
for we knew we couldn't lose.
The answer will go thund'ring
down the corridors of fame,
California's answer
"Wilson" is his name:

Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was good to you,
and don't forget 'twas votes for women
helped to win the vict'ry too,
for when the tide
was turning fast against you,
she made your dream come true,
Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was mighty good to you.

Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was good to you,
and don't forget 'twas votes for women
helped to win the vict'ry too,
for when the tide
was turning fast against you,
she made your dream come true,
Be good to California, Mr. Wilson,
California was mighty good to you.
