San Francisco 1912 'World Fair Song for 1915'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 19 Mar 2005

There's a city in the west
that the Congress thought the best
where to hold the big World's Fair.
There all nations will be seen
in the year nineteen fifteen,
for they're all invited there;
where the golden sunlight gleams
on the clear and sil'vry streams,
and the flowers perfume the air.
When the big canal is through
they will gladly welcome you
to the city of the big World Fair.

San Franscisco, the World's Fair town,
City of the western sea,
with heart and hand
the sons of ev'ry land
we welcome here to thee.
San Franscisco, nineteen fifteen,
in California's loyal State,
all the world will be there
at the great World's Fair,
in the city by the Golden Gate.

There's Mt. Shasta proud and great
'mid the wonders of the State
where the golden poppies grow;
and the orange yellowbright,
with the sweet magnoliawhite,
in the beautiful vale below.
'Tis a land of hope and wealth
where the breezes bring you health
in a climate beyond compare;
and in grand Yosemite,
nature's wonderland you'll see,
on your visit to the big World's Fair.

San Franscisco, the World's Fair town,
City of the western sea,
with heart and hand
the sons of ev'ry land
we welcome here to thee.
San Franscisco, nineteen fifteen,
in California's loyal State,
all the world will be there
at the great World's Fair,
in the city by the Golden Gate.
