The Land of The Poppy 1915

Sing of the land that we love most on earth
with its mountains and rivers and streams
where the cool winds blow golden poppies grow
where the sun on our grand state beams,
Where the mountains rise
to the clear blue skies
a gift from the heavens sent
Homes and flowers rare blooming ev'rywhere
our people are happy and content.

Long wave the flag
the dear old bear flag
that's waved since forty nine,
we extend a welcome to our shores
to the factory farm and mine.
Miss San Francisco
the queen of the west
well loved both near and far
with plenty to spare
for ever we'll live there
in the land of the poppy California.

Dear California
the pride of our hearts
and our sun kissed Golden Gate
from our golden strand we extend our hand
a hearty welcome to our great state
The far far west will do her best
our motto shall ever be,
their friendship retain
true friends we will remain
with our neighbours far across the sea.

Long wave the flag
the dear old bear flag
that's waved since forty nine,
we extend a welcome to our shores
to the factory farm and mine.
Miss San Francisco
the queen of the west
well loved both near and far
with plenty to spare
for ever we'll live there
in the land of the poppy California.
