JIM BLUDSO.

NO4 MANN oLA-A11-g
Wal, no. can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways, he's got out OF the habit
Of livin' like you and me.
w har have yeu been fOr the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy BludsO passed in his checks,
The night Of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in NatcheZ-under the-HIll,
And another one here, in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward man in row
But he never funkeft, and he never lied.
reckon he never knOWed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine we'll;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the Pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore.
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip,
And her day come at last
The MoYaSter was a better boat
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed,
And so she came tearin' along that night
The oldest craft on the line,
With nigger squat on her safety valve,
In her furnace crammed rosin and pine
The fire bust out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night;
And quick as flash she turned, and made
FOxthat willef-bank on the right
IEaere was runnin' and cursin' butt i'm yelled ou
Oyer all the Internal roar,
's1ak hold her nozzle aSin the bank
Till the last gstloots ashore"
Thfo' the hot, black breath of the burnin' boat
Jim BludSo's voice was heard.
Ap4Ythey ali had trust in his cussedness,
VAnd knowed he would keep his word.
And sure's you're born, they all got on
a Lore the smokestacks fell
And BludsO's ghost went up alone,
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle
Iefweren't It no saint but at Judgment,
.sI'd.run my chance with Jim,
'EPRg side of some pious gen tlemen
;Fhat wouldn't shook hands with him.
Iftsseen his duty, dead sure ming
