Pat Foster did an album for Riverside Records with this in the 1849 California gold rush version of the song that was titled "THE CALIFORNIA BOY".

I recorded the American lumber camp version, "The Pinery Boy", on my album called Art Thieme -- On The Wilderness Road. (Folk Legacy Records FSI-105) This album is still available as a cassette tape from Sandy Paton at Folk Legacy. [see Franz Rickaby's book Ballads and Songs Of The Shanty-Boy--page 85.
