I am lucklessly searching for the tune to this song, can anyone be of help? The words would be good too. It's from about 1900 I believe, probably an American song, but the music has eluded me so far. I've found a NZ union parody based on this song from about 1925 called "Little Hope", the first verse goes The cottage was a 'lean-to', Th worst I'd ever seen - Yes, everything, inside and out, Should be burnt with kerosene. And goes on to describe someone's miserable living conditions at the time.
