Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Hail! Hail! the gang’s all here
Sacramento mine, days of forty nine
Here’s where the grizzly bear
Flags a welcome straight to you
S. A. C. R. A., M. E. N. T. O.
Chorus:
To Sacramento, come on and help us
Push Father Time back to Forty nine
There’ll be lots doing, and you’ll be rueing
If you miss this grand old time
In Sacramento, we’re goin’ to show you
Just how they lived and danced and dined
And wore their whiskers boots and bonnets, too
In the good old days of Forty nine
- Oh boy, the things you’ll see
Bring your trusty gun, bandits on the run
We’ll live through history
Days when grandpa had his fun
Miners with tales of gold, to you they will unfold
Sung here by Fred Feild:
