How hard to mine you,
There's sticks, grass and muddy leaves,
All the way up to my knees.

Oh black darkness,
The stars are real bright,
The camp is really hushed now,
And the gold mines take a sleep.

Please don't laugh at me,
just because I got a disease
it's tough enough for me.

I have just got smallpox which is a
very bad disease,
It gives you little bad thingies
that really really sting.]]> 2019-03-08 21:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339483761 MK, Seaena K 27khangmadison https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339483770 Oh rushing rivers,
Don't you flow for me,
It's hard enough to mine on ground,
But this river is not free.

Oh P3 Panners,
Why are you lucky,
Gee I don't even have enough,
To feed my poor family.

Oh gold miners,
How hard you work for thee,
I've been panning for a long time now,
And I'm still the same old me.
HEY!

Can you gift to me
Something that is very good
Like blue jeans that are free

I have just come from my wagon train
And don't know where to be
I don't have a tent nor a shovel
Please will you just help me

How should I buy all my tools here
For all that I shall need
I see some shops and some hotels
But don't know where to feed

Please don't take my gold,

And now I'm completly broke.

Oh, ruination,

Now I have a flood o' miners
Who came for all my gold.]]> 2019-03-08 21:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339483856 ZC and JK 27kejenna https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339483874 Oh sweet family,

Coming home by ship.
The horn tosses us all around,
There's no gold in my kit.]]> 2019-03-08 21:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339483874 SKolanupaka 27kolanupasrikruth https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339483883 'Oh Little Child,

You're super hard to find.

Won´t you please sell me
A wash pan that is cheap enough For a miner just like me

I mined here for a thousand weeks and nothing caught my eye
Maybe if I try my luck i´ll find my golden dime.

Oh James Marshalll
Why didn´t you tell me
That there was gold right under us
Because that would be neat.

The miners were a shouting
That gold was being found
But I never got a piece
Which really brought me really down.

Oh John Sutter
Could you hire me
I want to have a pan of gold
With water up to my knees

The miners were acoming in Swarms of colonys
I tried to beat them to the gold
But I lost in poor defeat

Oh gold miners
please step of my land
I claimed it all for me to use
with a pick and a washpan.]]> 2019-03-08 21:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339486911 SKesanam + AZ = SKAZ 27kesanamsrikar https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/339488082 Oh gold miners
I need to find that gold
Grab your picks and shovels
And lets hit the mother lode.

Oh, Luzena
I'm dying here for sleep,
I need a big hotel
Where I can eat, drink and sleep

Oh, 49'ers
please mine gold for me
I need the money for my wife
and the children when they're free!

Marshall's at my mill and he

Please don't take my gold,

It's hard enough to build my mill,

And now I'm completly broke.

Oh, ruination,

I wish I hadn't told,

Now I have a flood o' miners

Who came for all my gold.

Oh San Francisco,

I need to be there soon

I want my hands on some nuggets

The second day by lunch

Oh gold nuggets,

Will you come to me

I need some money for my wife

Will you please help me

Oh dear family

Don’t you worry one bit

Next month I will return by ship

With pouches full of gold

Oh tired miners,

I hope I’m not like you
Working very long and hard

And haven’t struck it rich

Oh Luzena,

I have worked so very hard

I need a big hotel

Where I can eat, drink, and sleep

Oh Sam Brannon,

Where is all our gold

We had our picks and shovel

But didn’t hit the mother lode

Oh gold fever,

Drawing me out west

I digged for ten full hours

Today is not my day

Oh rushing river,

Please don’t flow so fast

Its hard enough to stake a claim

And now I’m close to gold

Oh brothers,

From the world so far

Everytime I see someone,

I think of it as you

Oh Land of Nuggets

I so close to you

Please allow me to take some gold

For my child, cow, and wife

Oh diseases,

Please don’t get to me

I have Smallpox

Which really really STINGS!

Oh Levi Strauss,

Can you donate me

A pair of blue jeans that can

Withstand the water flow

Oh black darkness,

Can you go away

I need more time to mine

In the rivers full of gold

Oh James Marshall,

Why are you so lucky

I have mined for 3 straight days

And no nuggets in plain sight

Oh mining camps,

Why is it that your quiet

Usually there is laughter

And miners screaming “YAY!

Oh muddy waters,

Don’t you get me ugly

When I am traveling home

My wife will scream at me

Oh grocery stores,

Can you gift to me

I bunch of clean apples

That will at least last a week

Oh hotels,

Can you at least give me

A bucket full of water and soap

So I won’t be smelly

Oh dear cow,

How have I missed you

Everytime I see a cow

I rush toward it in glee

Oh dear family,

I am almost done

In six weeks, I’ll rush home

So I can once again reunite

Don't you laugh at me,
It's very true I've got no gold,
But that doesn't mean I'm free.

Oh John Sutter,
Why don't you hire me,
I need a place to work and earn,
And not the same old tree.

Oh crashing rivers,
Don't you dry up now,
I just need a little gold from you,
For my family, friends, and sow.

Oh James Marshall,
Won't you please allow,
Me to keep some of your gold,
For a big old milk-filled cow.

Oh Sam Brannen,
You're such a clever man,
If you ever have a dream,
Fulfill it if you can.

Oh Luzena,
Can I get a can,
I'm not asking much of you,
Just to keep my sand.

Oh dear family,
Don't you long for me,
I'll be back in a few years time,
So keep on sailing seas.]]> 2019-03-17 20:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/paulavenable/byzjxhxxfw02/wish/342168335
