First lines
Shake, Pard! I'm mighty proud o' you! / (I'm know'd as "Yukon Bill"); / You blazed th' trail an' blazed it true; -- -- / Some o' my friends I see y' knew / On old Che-cha-ko Hill; / But say, old man, y' clean forgot my friend, "Swiftwater Bill!"
You was a kid in pettic'uts / When I went in, a man; / Grub-stakin' with two other goats -- -- / We sow'd th' last of our wild oats / An' th' new, clean life began; / We was th' fu'st (an' p'raps th' wu'st) Five Fingers' Rapids ran.
