BALLAD
GOOD BYE MRS. DURKIN. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF WORKIN. MY HEART IS
FAIRLY BROKEN BUT I CAN NO LONGER STAY. BUT SURE'S ME NAME IS
CARNEY, I'M OFF TO CALIFARNEY. STEAD OF DIGGIN TATERS I'LL BE DIGGIN
LUMPS OF GOLD.
Submitter comment:
THE INFORMANT WAS UNSURE OF THIS BALLAD'S ORIGIN. I SUSPECT THIS
WAS SUNG BY A SERVANT OR FARMHAND WHO LEFT FOR CALIFORNIA AND THE
GOLD RUSH.
