Yiddish folk song circa 1850's

[Lionel Mrocki <amrocks...>]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a yiddish song meeting the
following criteria:

remeniscences of "the old country", or song of longing or nostalgia of
sorts,
popular, or at least sung around the time of the gold rush (Aussie gold
rush was only a few years after the Californian gold rush)
No references within the song to America as the locale of the story told
in the lyrics.

--
Regards,

Lionel Mrocki
