| Kind friends they thought 'twould do him good | L |
| To travel for his health | M |
| To California he did go | N |
| With his Uncle Zera French | O |
| - | |
| He was not gone but a short time | P |
| When a letter his friends received | Q |
| It told how homesick Johnny was | R |
| How he for home did grieve | S |
| It said that he was getting worse | T |
| And his money was nearly gone | D |
| And if he did not soon return | U |
| Never more would he see home | E |

| It said Dear Brother will you please | V |
| Some money to me send | W |

| To bring me back again | Y |
| The doctor says I must soon return | U |
| If I wish my home to see | Z |
| For if I stay my life is short | A2 |

| For he was sick and very bad | F2 |
| Poor boy he thought no doubt | G2 |
| If he came home in a smoking car | H2 |
| His money would hold out | G2 |

| He came one third the way | J2 |
| One evening in the car alone | I2 |
| His spirit fled away | J2 |
| - | |
| No friend was near to speak to him | B2 |
| Or hear his dying moan | I2 |
| How sad how sad it must have been | K2 |
| To die there all alone | I2 |
| No loving friends to soothe his brow | L2 |
| Or ease his weary form | M2 |
| Poor soul poor soul is now at rest | N2 |
| For his soul to heaven has gone | D |
| - | |
| Telegraph dispatch was sent his friends | H |
| How sad were they to hear | O2 |
| How their loved one died all alone | I2 |
| In a car with no one near | P2 |
| The brother brought his body home | E |
| To his friends that loved him best | N2 |
| He's sleeping in their grave yard now | L2 |
| Let peace be e'er his rest | N2 |
