Few Days.This world is coming to an end, few days—few daysI’ll crack my shins, my jacket rend—I’m gwine home!I’m gwine to run clear out of sight, few days—few days;And leave these naughty diggins quite; I’m gwine home!CHORUSFor I’ve got a home out yonder, few days—few days!I’ve got a home out yonder, in old Tennessee.And I can’t stay in these diggins, few days—few days!Can’t stay in these diggins, I’m gwine home.They tell about Maine Liquor Law, few days—few days;It makes the folks get drunk the more; I’m gwine home.Nebraska’s gwine to be a State, few days—few days;Cuba too will come in late; I’m gwine home.For I’ve got a home out yonder, &c.Every thing is done by steam, few days—few days;Leather taffy, chalk ice-cream—I’m gwine home.Boys wears beards, and women too, few days—few days;Though all things change there’s nothing new, I’m gwine home.For I’ve got a home out yonder, &c.The Shanghai fowls, how tall they grow, few days—few days,That people can not hear them crow; I’m gwine home.When guano’s put on gudgeon’s tails, few days—few days;They grow to be as big as whales; I’m gwine home.For I’ve got a home out yonder, &c.There’s sin and folly everywhere, few days—few days;Enough to make oldSatan stare: I’m gwine home.I’ll sing my parting song once more, few days—few days;And then I’ll pass o’er Jordan’s shore; I’m gwine home.For I’ve got a home out yonder, &c.

CHORUS
For I’ve got a home out yonder, few days—few days!I’ve got a home out yonder, in old Tennessee.And I can’t stay in these diggins, few days—few days!Can’t stay in these diggins, I’m gwine home.
For I’ve got a home out yonder, few days—few days!
I’ve got a home out yonder, in old Tennessee.
And I can’t stay in these diggins, few days—few days!
Can’t stay in these diggins, I’m gwine home.

Enough to make oldSatan stare: I’m gwine home.
I’ll sing my parting song once more, few days—few days;
And then I’ll pass o’er Jordan’s shore; I’m gwine home.
For I’ve got a home out yonder, &c.
