I just noticed there is a polka "Johnny Jump Up" by J.E. Magruder, published in California in 1878, on the Lester Levy sheet music site:

The tune is no relation to "My Bonny Moorhen" and there's no pictorial image on the cover so it's anybody's guess what the significance of the title was. Any California historians out there?
