James (Hold The Ladder Steady)

James (Hold the Ladder Steady) - Sue Thompson

James James hold the ladder steady

James James I'm packed tonight I'm ready

James James hold the ladder steady

I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

I'm a'comin' down to your arms

Now James and I we went to mama

And showed her my diamond ring

She said my poor little baby

You must be crazy to think of such a thing

So James James hold the ladder steady

James James I'm packed tonight I'm ready

James James hold the ladder steady

I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

I'm a'comin' down to your arms

Now James and I we went to daddy

And said that we want to be wed

Daddy said nope you'll just have to elope

And laughed as he went to bed

But James James hold the ladder steady

James James I'm packed tonight I'm ready

James James hold the ladder steady

I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

I'm a'comin' down to your arms

I'd hate to see 'em in the morning

When they both completely flip

He'll be sayin' they cain't

She'll be feeling faint

And I'll be kissing my husband's lips

So James James hold the ladder steady

James James I'm packed tonight I'm ready

James James hold the ladder steady

I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

I'm a'comin' down to your arms

James James hold the ladder steady

James James I'm packed tonight I'm ready

James James hold the ladder steady
