He, generous, true and fearless, With record clear and straight, Stands firm before the nation. Brave giant of that state.

He scorns to seek the office. Within the golden gate And millions in possession, Rich giant of that state.

He'll never run for money, On that my life I'll stake; There is no fraud about him. Real giant of that state

Like Aaron's rod, he's swallowed Politicians, small and great, And stands before the nation, Large giant of that state.
