JIM RLUoSO oFTAE PRAIRIE
SElLE.

Wall no, can't tell whar he lives
Becase he don't live, you see;
Leastweys. he's got out OF the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
cheeks
The night OF the Prairie Belle ?
lie weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez Under. the Hill
And another one here is Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim
And an awkwa ard hand in a row.
But he never hunked, and he never lied
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he bad.
To treat his engine well.
Never he passed on the river,
To mind the pilots bell,
And il ever the Prairie Belle took ire
A Thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle sg'in the bank
Til the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mis-
sissippi
And her day came at last
The Movastar was a better boat.
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed:
And 80 she cous tearin' along that
night
The oldest craft on the line
with a nigger squat on her safety valve
And her furnace crammed, rosin and
pine.
The fire bust out as she cl'ared the bar
And burnt a hole in the night.
And quick as a fash she turned and
made
For that willer bank on the right
There was runnin' and cursin, but Jim
yelled out
over all the internal roar:
III hold her nozzle az in the bank
Till be last galoot's ashore
Through the hot, black breath of the
burnin' boat
Jim BludsO Is voice was heard.
And they all had trust in his cussed ness
Aud knowed he would keep his word
And. sure's you're born, they all got. of
Afore the smokestacks fell;
And hludso's ghost went up alone
In tie smoke of the Prairie benes
He weren't no saint, but at Judgment
Id run my chance with jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That would't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty. dead sure thing,
And went for it thar and then
And Christ amt a-goin' to be too hard
On man that died for men.
