Jim, Jim, I Wore A Tie Today
The first one that I ever wore
And you have said, that I looked 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 wanderin' back down the trail
Back to the good times we had.
Ridin' the herd through the sun and the rain
Pannin' 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 ridin' on ahead
Well if that's how it's goin' to be
When you reach those streets paved with gold
Jim stake a claim out for me.
We did everything we could for you Jim but
Your fever just wouldn't go down
