I'm old Tom Moore from the bummer's shore

In the good old golden days.

They call me a bummer and a gin sot, too

But what cares I for praise

I wander around from town to town

Just like a roving sign,

How oftentimes I repine

For the days of old when we dug up the gold

There was Nantuck Bill, I knew him well,
a feller that was fond of tricks.
at a poker game he was always there
and heavy with his bricks.
He would ante up and draw his cards
and go in a hatfull blind

In a game of bluff, Bill lost his breath
In the days of '49.
There was New York Jake, a butcher boy
He was always getting tight.
and every time that he got full
He was always hunting a fight.
One night he run up against a knife
In the hands of old Bob Kline
and over Jake they held a wake
In the days of '49.
There was poor old Jess, the old lame cuss
He never would relent.
Her never was known to miss a drink
Or ever spend a cent.
at length old Jess like all the rest
Who never would decline,
In all his bloom went up the flume
In the days of '49.
There was roaring Bill from Buffalo
I never will forget.
He would roar all day and he'd roar all night
and I guess he's roaring yet.
One night he fell in a prospector's hole
In a roaring bad design,
In in that hole roared out his soul
In the days of '49
