Whar have you been for tho last threo year
That yOu have nj heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed i'll his checks,

BE were Mt no saint-them engineers
IL all pretty r1uch alike, ,,,
One wife i'm NatCheZ-undcr-tne-N
And another one here, III PIKE.
A keerlcaS man III his talk was JIM
And an awkward man in a row
But lie never finnked, and he never lied.
IrccllOn lie never knowcd how
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine Wen;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the Pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took frc-
thousand times he swOre,
He'd hold her nozzle agn the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on The Mssissip,
And her day come at last =
The MOyaStar was a better boat.
But the Belle she uoutdat be passed.
And so she come tearln along that night
The oldest craft on the lIno,
With n niger squat on her safety waive
And her furnace crammed, rOsin aad pine.
The fire bust out as she clared The bar,
And burnt "A hole in the nighS
And quick as "a flash she turned. and made
For that willcr-bank on the right.
There was running and Cursing, but jim yelled

Over all the internal roar,
oil hold her nozzle agin the bank
Til the last galOOt 3 ashore
Through the hot, black breath of the burnin
boat
Jim BludsOs voice was heard,
And they all had trust III his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word;
And. sure Is you re born. they all got Oh
Afore the sm0kestacks fell.
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He were MT no saint-but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with jim,
Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, u dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then:
And Christ amt a CCin' 90 be too hard
