Thread Name: ADD: Happy Miner/Unhappy Miner (Old Put)
Subject: RE: Origins: I never changed my fancy shirt
Hmmm, my next post got lost.

The song is from "Put's Golden Songster," pp. 43-46, copyright 1858, by John A. Stone [Put], D. E. Appleton & Co., San Francisco.

Air- "I Get in a Weaving Way."

A companion piece is "The Unhappy Miner," same volume, pp. 36-39, air- "Old Dog Tray."
