Let's get this straight: Hangtown Gals. Air -- "New York Gals" Hangtown gals are plump and rosy, Hair in ringlets mighty cosy; Painted cheeks and gassy bonnets; Touch them and they'll sting like hornets. Chorus Hangtown gals are lovely creatures, Think they'll marry Mormon preachers; Heads thrown back to show their features -- Ha. ha. ha ! Hangtown gals. They're dreadful shy of forty-niners, Turn their noses up at miners; Shocked to hear them say " gol darn it !" Try to blush , but cannot come it. Chorus -- Hangtown gals are lovely creatures, etc. They'll catch a neighbor's cat and beat it, Cut a bean in halves to eat it; Promenade in silk and satin. Cannot talk, but murder Latin Chorus -- Hangtown gals are lovely creatures, etc. On the streets they're always gr'nn'ng; Modestly they lift their linnen; Petticoats all trimmed with laces, Matching well their painted faces. Chorus -- Hangtown gals are lovely creatures, etc. To church they very seldom venture -- Hoops so large they cannot enter ; Go it, gals, you're young and tender, Shun the pick and shovel gender. Chorus -- Hangtown gals are lovely creatures, etc. --------------------- Plus, I might add, it weren't a $15K nugget but more to $25K.
