I'm Sad And Lonely Here
Air: Oft in the Stilly Night 
Put's Golden Songster:
containing the largest and most popular collection of California songs ever published
by John A Stone
San Francisco : D.E. Appleton & Co., 1858
I'm sad and lonely here,
Though joy and wealth surround me,
I dare not speak, for fear
Some fighting man will pound me.
Were I at home I would not roam
So far from thee again;
But there would camp for years to come,
Beside my Peggy Jane.
CHORUS:
I'm sad and lonely here,
Though joy and wealth surround me,
I dare not speak, for fear
Some fighting man will pound me.
I long have looked for gold,
But little have I found;
I own that I've been sold,
For 'tis not in the gorund.
I feel "as how" I'd sooner plow,
Yes, hoe or husk the corn;
Or even milk the brindle cow
That kicks so in the morn.
CHORUS
