Keith McNeil sings "The Days of Forty-Nine" from his "California Songs" at Days of Forty-Nine
Here is the "senator" verse:
Of al the comrades that I had then,
There's none left now but me.
And the only thing I'm fittin' for
Is a senator to be.
The people cry as I pass by
"There goes a traveling sign,
That's old Tom Moore, a bummer sure,
Of the days of 'Forty-Nine."
