BILL MAGUIRE's DYNAMITE.
a Tugboat Ballad of the sauey Kitty.

one day the Kitty hooked on to a
barge of dynamite,
And Bill Mcguire groWIed like mad
and said: This isn't right.
Here's each of US a married man. and
yet the boss don't care,
But sticks US where most any time We
may blow through the air.
I'm sick and tired of the game. I've
half mind to slide
Right out of this, and let the tow go
drifting down the tidei''
We chug- chugged slowly down the
stream. We had to mind our eye
Because the shipping was so thick we
hardly could get by;
And oh they hustled madly to give US
an open road
When they saw the red flag that few
upon our wicked load.
Well, just as we got where the ships
were crowded side by side,
THAT barge is burning at the bow!
one of our deck hands cried.
And sure enough cloud OF smoke
came up as thick and black
AS if it We're the smoke that poured
from out the Kitty's stack
Then a red flash came Wickedly- Her
mast began to burn,
And like a running, roaring wave, the
fame ran to her stern
I lodged. I couldn't help it. All my
nerves were tense and tight
Expecting the next moment we'd be
blown clean out of sight.
A deck hand snatched the axe and ran
to chop our line in two;
But Bill leaned from the pilot house
and shouted: Drop that. youi"
But then I yelled up through the tube
and said. You can't hold onl
Soon as that deck is burned she II
burst, and then We'll all be gone
