(Jim uh huh, Jim uh huh, Jim) |
|
Jim, I did everything that |
|
I couldBut your fever just wouldn't die down |
|
So I tied your horse to the wagon bed |
|
And last night |
|
I brought you to town. |
|
But when I got there you were gone |
|
JimAnd there was nothin' nobody could do |
|
I bought you a suit and a tie |
|
JimAnd today |
|
I wore one too. |
|
Jim I wore a tie today |
|
The first one that |
|
I ever wore |
|
And you'd have said |
|
I looked like a dummy |
|
Out of a dry goods store. |
|
Jim they said a lot of things |
|
But I don't know a thing they said |
|
My mind kept wanderin' off down the trail |
|
Back to the times that we've had.(Wind her through sun and the rain) |
|
And for gold on the cuff |
|
We've done everything in the book |
|
I guessAnd a lot they'd never thought up. |
|
Well Jim, you're ridin' on ahead |
|
I guess that's how it has be |
|
But when you reach those streets paved with gold |
|
JimStake a claim out for me... |
