Old man never had much to say	A
'Ceptin' to Jim	B
And Jim was the wildest boy he had	C
And the old man jes' wrapped up in him	B
Never heerd him speak but once	D
Er twice in my life and first time was	E
When the army broke out and Jim he went	F
The old man backin' him fer three months	G
And all 'at I heerd the old man say	A
Was jes' as we turned to start away	A
Well good by Jim	B
Take keer o' yourse'f	H
	-
'Peared like he was more satisfied	I
Jes' lookin' at Jim	B
And likin' him all to hisse'f like see	J
'Cause he was jes' wrapped up in him	B
And over and over I mind the day	A
The old man come and stood round in the way	A
While we was drillin' a watchin' Jim	B
And down at the deepo a heerin' him say	A
Well good by Jim	B
Take keer of yourse'f	H
	-
Never was nothin' about the farm	K
Disting'ished Jim	B
Neighbors all ust to wonder why	L
The old man 'peared wrapped up in him	B
But when Cap Biggler he writ back	M
'At Jim was the bravest boy we had	C
In the whole dern rigiment white er black	M
And his fightin' good as his farmin' bad	C
'At he had led with a bullet clean	N
Bored through his thigh and carried the flag	O
Through the bloodiest battle you ever seen	N
The old man wound up a letter to him	B
'At Cap read to us 'at said Tell Jim	B
Good by	L
And take keer of hisse'f	H
	-
Jim come home jes' long enough	H
To take the whim	B
'At he'd like to go back in the calvery	J
And the old man jes' wrapped up in him	B
Jim 'lowed 'at he'd had sich luck afore	J
Guessed he'd tackle her three years more	J
And the old man give him a colt he'd raised	P
And follered him over to Camp Ben Wade	Q
And laid around fer a week er so	R
Watchin' Jim on dress parade	Q
Tel finally he rid away	A
And last he heerd was the old man say	A
Well good by Jim	B
Take keer of yourse'f	H
	-
Tuk the papers the old man did	S
A watchin' fer Jim	B
Fully believin' he'd make his mark	T
Some way jes' wrapped up in him	B
And many a time the word 'u'd come	U
'At stirred him up like the tap of a drum	U
At Petersburg fer instunce where	J
Jim rid right into their cannons there	J
And tuk 'em and p'inted 'em t'other way	A
And socked it home to the boys in gray	A
As they scooted fer timber and on and on	V
Jim a lieutenant and one arm gone	W
And the old man's words in his mind all day	A
Well good by Jim	B
Take keer of yourse'f	H
	-
Think of a private now perhaps	X
We'll say like Jim	B
'At's dumb clean up to the shoulder straps	X
And the old man jes' wrapped up in him	B
Think of him with the war plum' through	J
And the glorious old Red White and Blue	J
A laughin' the news down over Jim	B
And the old man bendin' over him	B
The surgeon turnin' away with tears	Y
'At hadn't leaked fer years and years	Z
As the hand of the dyin' boy clung to	J
His father's the old voice in his ears	Z
Well good by Jim	B
Take keer of yourse'f	H
