Re: Few Days, or I'm Going Home.
Carl, that was great!!! I thought that you might enjoy some additional verses written by the California gold rush performer Mart Taylor. They are from the 1856 "The Gold Digger's Song Book" pages 21 and 22.
Few Days - New Version
Old P. T. Barnum had the rock,
Few days, few days,
But lost them all on wooden clocks,
I'm going home.
He bragged about his wit to soon,
A few days, a few days,
For now he hasn't a picayune,
I'm going home.
You take a California stage,
A few days, few days,
You'll wear your soles out I'll engage,
I'm going home.
The drivers never known to fail,
A few days, few days,
To show you Foot & Walkers trail,
I'm going home.
The Senate and Assembly sit,
A few days, few days,
And when the members lazy get,
They're going home.
Now when the session fairly stops,
A few days, few days,
'Twill break up all the liquor shops,
I'm going home.
'Tis leap year and the ladies can,
A few day, few days,
Propose to some good-looking man,
I'm going home.
So pop the question if you will,
A few days, few days,
And catch a husband by the gill,
I'm going home.
Miss Lucy Stone has changed her name,
A few days, few days,
But preaches woman's rights the same,
I'm going home.
It proves as strong as preaching can,
A few days, few days,
They cannot live without a man,
I'm going home.
You boys whose mining claims will pay,
A few days, few days,
Keep digging till each one can say,
I'm going home,
You then can wed some pretty miss,
In a few days, few days,
And live a life of happiness,
I'm going home.
Kind regards,
Chris OwnbyComment
