No, sir! he wuzn't afeard to die; For all night long he seemed to see His little boys of the days gone by, An' to hear sweet voices forgot by me! An' just as the mornin' sun come up   "They're holdin' me by the hands!" he cried, An' so he died. NO SIR HE WASN'T AFEARED TO DIE FOR ALL NIGHT LONG HE SEEMED TO SEE HIS LITTLE BOYS OF THE DAYS GONE BY AND TO HEAR SWEET VOICES FORGOT BY ME AND JUST AS THE MORNING SUN COME UP THEY'RE HOLDING ME BY THE HANDS HE CRIED AND SO HE DIED
ent down in a cloudy sky, And never a kid saw he at play, And he listened in vain for the welcoming cry. In his little house he learned it all, And he clinched his hands and he bowed his head-- "The fever!" they said. 'T wuz a pitiful time for Fisherman Jim, With them darlin's a-dyin' afore his eyes, A-stretchin' their wee hands out to him An' a-breakin' his heart with the old-time cries He had heerd so often upon the sands; For they thought they wuz helpin' his boat ashore-- Till they spoke no more. But Fisherman Jim lived on and on, Castin' his nets an' sailin' the sea; As a man will live when his heart is gone, Fisherman Jim lived hopelessly, Till once in those years they come an' said: "Old Fisherman Jim is powerful sick-- Go to him, quick!" Then Fisherman Jim says he to me: "It's a long, long cruise-you understand-- But over beyont the ragin' sea I kin see my boys on the shinin' sand Waitin' to help this ol' hulk ashore, Just as they used to--ah, mate, you know!-- In the long ago. SHERMAN JIM SAILED INTO THE BAY AS THE SUN WENT DOWN IN A CLOUDY SKY AND NEVER A KID SAW HE AT PLAY AND HE LISTENED IN VAIN FOR THE WELCOMING CRY IN HIS LITTLE HOUSE HE LEARNED IT ALL AND HE CLINCHED HIS HANDS AND HE BOWED HIS HEAD THE FEVER THEY SAID TWAS A PITIFUL TIME FOR FISHERMEN JIM WITH THEM DARLINS A DYIN AFORE HIS EYES A STRETCHIN THEIR WEE HANDS OUT TO HIM AND A BREAK IN HIS HEART WITH THE OLD TIME CRIES HE HAD HEARD SO OFTEN UPON THE SANDS FOR THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS HELP IN HIS BOAT ASHORE TILL THEY SPOKE NO MORE BUT FISHERMAN JIM LIVED ON AND ON CASTING HIS NETS AND SAILING THE SEA AS A MAN WILL LIVE WHEN HIS HEART IS GONE FISHERMAN JIM LIVED HOPELESSLY TILL ONCE IN THOSE YEARS THEY COME AND SAID OLD FISHERMAN JIM IS POWERFUL SICK GO TO HIM QUICK THEN FISHERMAN JIM SAYS HE TO ME IT'S A LONG LONG CRUISE YOU UNDERSTAND BUT OVER BEYOND THE RAGE AND SEA I CAN SEE MY BOYS ON THE SHININ SAND WAITIN TO HELP THIS OLD HULK ASHORE JUST AS THEY USED TO AH MATE YOU KNOW IN THE LONG AGO
