Between 1854 and 1856, a dozen or so sets of words were set to this tune.
I presume that you are referring to the words by John Hill Hewitt and found in Levy Sheet Music and (with errors) in pdmusic.org, with the title "Few Day's." Note the apostrophe, which sets this version about 'diggins' apart from the political campaign and freed slave versions. The others are titled "Few Days" without the apostrophe.

Few Day's(sic)
John Hill Hewitt, sung by Harry Lehr

This world is coming to an end,
Few day's, few day's!
I'll leave it for I have no friend;
I'm gwine home,
I'm gwine to run clear out o' sight
Few day's, few day's!
And leave these naughty diggins quite;
I'm gwine home!

Chorus
For I've a home out yonder,
Few day's, few day's!
I've a home out yonder,
In old Tennessee,
And I can't stay here in these diggins,
I'm gwine home.

They tell about Maine Liquor law,
Few day's, few day's;
It makes the folks get drunk the more,
I'm gwine home.
Nebraska's gwine to be a state,
Few day's, few day's;
Cuba, too, will come in late,
I'm gwine home.

Chorus

Every thing is done by steam,
Few day's, few day's;
Leather taffy - chalk Ice Cream,
I'm gwine home.
Boys wear beards and Women too,
Few day's, few day's;
Though all things change, there's nothing new;
I'm gwine home.

Chorus

The Shanghai fowls so tall they grow,
Few day's, few day's;
The people cannot hear them crow,
I'm gwine home.
When guano's put on gudgeon's tails,
Few day's, few day's;
They grew to be as big as whales
I'm gwine home.

Chorus

There's sin and folly every where,
Few day's, few day's;
Enough to make old satan stare,
I'm gwine home.
I'll sing my parting song once more,
Few day's, few day's;
And then I'll pass o'er Jordan's shore,
I'm gwine home.
