Jim Jim

I wore a tie today

The first one that I ever wore

You have said that I look like a dummy

Out of a dry goods store

Oh Jim Jim the preacher said a lot of things

But I didn't hear a word he said

My mind kept wandering

Back down the trail

Back to the good times we had

Riding herd through the sun and the rain

Panning for gold on the cuff

We did everything in the books I guess

And a lot that they never thought up

Oh Jim Jim so you're riding on ahead

Well if that's how it's going to be

When you reach those streets paved with gold

Jim take a claim out for me

We did everything we could do for ya Jim

But your fever just wouldn't go down

So we put you on a wagon Jim

And this morning we got you back to town

But when we got here you were gone Jim

And there wasn't anything anybody could do

They dressed you up in a fancy suit and a necktie

And so today we wore one too

Riding herd through the sun and the rain

Panning for gold on the cuff

We've did everything in the book I guess

And a lot that they never thought up

Oh Jim Jim so you're riding on ahead

Well if that's how it's going to be

When you reach those streets paved with gold

Jim stake a claim out for me
