California
By Robert W. Cluney
California, the state where anything will grow
Where the orange trees blossom and the oil wells flow
The cotton fields ripen in the warm summer sun
Where the rice paddies glisten and pure waters run
From the high Sierra Mountains to the blue Pacific shore
From the Oregon border to Old Mexico's lore
Our people are mixed, our potential great
With our golden bear banner, we're proud of our state
We are steeped in legend of old Spanish rule
Of Padre Francisco and his first Mission School
His missions still stand along the El Camino Real
Stretching through out State fore over five hundred miles
