Brendy;

Not really. The song is mentioned in the diary of a Canadian Overlander who walked west from the eastern Canada to the goldfields of B.C. When this particular party left Huntingdon Quebec there was a young Englishman who joined the party. His name was W. Merriat. He was seldom refered to by name. Because he was young and sang "by studying of economy we live like a Lord", constantly, he was within days known only as "the boy Economy." I presume it was a popular song of the time (1862) but I cannot find any trace of it. I have written a book on the trek westward and would now that it is republished I am trying to tie up a few loose ends for a website. So, I would like to find this song and the complete words.
