Whar have you been for the last three

That you haven't heard. folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
The hight Of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is pretty much alike
one wife In Nathchez-under- the -Hill
And another one here. in Pike
A keerless man in his talk was Jim.
And an awkward hand i'm row.
But he never hunked, and he never
I 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 agn the hank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mis-
sissip,
And her day come at last
The Movastar was better boat.
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And so she come tearin' along that
night
The oldest craft on the line
With niger squat on her safety
valve.
And her furnace crammed. rosin end

The fire bust out as she clared the bar,
And burnt a hole in the night
And quick as a fash she dyne1 and
made
For that willer- bank on the right

And Christ amt going to be too hard
on man that died for men.
