DaveJohnson Lyr Req: Eureka Lead (Patricia Cook?) (5) Lyr Req: Eureka Lead 09 May 10

I have some of the lyrics for the song Eureka Lead which goes to the tune of The Parting Glass. Can anyone make corrections, fill in the third line, add another verse?
I think it was composed in the 1960s possibly Patricia Cook?

I have a pick I have a pan
I have a dog with one grey eye
I have a
That's all I have until I die.

Chorus:
A glass of rum to ease my heart
There's not much more a man can need.
And if there were 'twould be no use
There is no gold on Eureka Lead.

To make my fortune digging gold
I left behind my love in tears
I said that I would be back soon
But I've been gone for fifteen years.
