Jack Horntip	Origins: Drilling for Oil / Boring for Oil (27)	RE: Origins: Drilling for Oil / Boring for Oil	25 Dec 25
From the 1887-1897 broadside version: You may talk of excitement so scarce and so rare, Of bansh[?] and of water-falls done up in hair, But if you will just listen to me for awhile I'll relate my adventure while boring for oil. The version above: You may talk of California, with its yellow golden shore, The new streets of Nevada, with its mines of silver ore, But the State of Pennsylvania the boasting now can spoil, Great wealth is flowing from their mighty beds of oil. Opening is the same.
