Jim, I Wore a Tie Today

(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...
