W:I'll tell you sure he was a blame mean man,
W:Last week a premature blast went off
W:And a mile in air the went big Jim Goff.

W:When the next pay-day came around,
W:Jim Goff a dollar short was found.
W:When he asked what for, he got this reply,
W:"You were docked for the time you were up in the sky."
