Won't you help support DayPoems? Nearer My Job to TheeBy Joe Hill1879.10.7-1915.9.19Nearer my job to thee, Nearer with glee, Three plunks for the office fee, But my fare is free. My train is running fast, I've got a job at last, Nearer my job to thee Nearer to thee. Arrived where my job should be, Nothing in sight I see, Nothing but sand. by gee, Job went up a tree. No place to eat or sleep, Snakes in the sage brush creep. Nero a saint would be, Shark, compared to thee. Nearer to town! each day (Hiked all the way), Nearer that agency, Where I paid my fee, And when that shark I see You'll bet your boots that he Nearer his god shall be. Leave that to me.
