"JIM BLUDSO."

Wall, no! / can't tell wher he lives,
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways, he's got out OF the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
year
That you havn'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-HiI
And another one here in Pike;
keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row,
But he never flunked, and he never lied
/ reckon he never knowed how
And this was all the religion he had,
To treat his engine well;
Never to 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 Aississip,
And her day come at last
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed,
And so she come tearin' along that night
Inc OLDEST craft on the line
With Niger squat on her safety valve,
And her furnace crammed, rosln
and pine.
The fire bust out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as a flash 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:
TN hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot black breath OF the
burnin' boat
Jim Bludsos voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness
And knowed he would keep his word.
And, sure's you're born, they all got on
Afore the smokestacks fell
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke Of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't 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, a dead-sure thing,
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a going to be too hard
On man that died for men.
