Jimmy Dean - Jim I Wore A Tie Today lyrics

(Jim Jim) Jim I did everything I could do but your fever just wouldn't die down

So I tied your horse to the wagon and last night I brought you to town

When I got you there Jim you's gone and there was nothin' nobody could do

So I bought you a suit and a tie Jim and today I wore one too

Jim I wore a tie today the first one that I ever wore

And you'd've said that I looked like a dummy out of a dry goods store

Jim they said a lot of things but I couldn't tell you one thing they said

Somehow my mind kept wanderin'

Wanderin' down back that trail back to the times that we've had

One thing bout you old friend is side by side sun or rain

How many times pannin' gold on the cuff

We did about everything in the book I guess

And prob'ly some things that they never read or thought up

Well Jim you're ridin' on ahead and I I guess that's the way that's gotta be

But Jim when you reach them streets paved with gold nobody stake a claim out for me

(Jim hmm Jim) Jim I wore a tie today
