The Fitzsimmons and Corbett Fight. Tune-"There'll Come a Time." By Daniel E. Krueger. 
Some years ago Jim and Fitzsimmons, All that they did was talk about fight; Until one day they got together, 'Twas then that Fitz sent Jim down the pike; Yes, yes, my man, 'twas out at Carson, St. Patrick's Day, the sports were In line; I drop'd my dough, but soon I'll regain it. When Sharkey meets Fitz, boys, there'll come a time. 
Chorus. There'll come a time some day, when Sharkey holds full sway, He is the only real thing, boys, keep that In mind; Fitz the champion now-won't be long, I'll allow, Sharkey's the next one to land, boys, there'll come a time. 
Corbett, no doubt, was broken-hearted, He thought the game was really dead sure; Until he got that awful left soaker, 'Twas more than Jim could ever endure; Give credit boys to Jim for his fighting. But don't forget John "L" In his prime; Among the best you'll not find his equal. But Sharkey Is next, boys, there'll come a time.- Chorus.
