Jimbo Jenkins Songtext
von Jim Reeves

There′s a funny little man in my hometown
His age is 93
He's a cute little man with a funny little grin
You′ll love him, yessiree!

He'll tell you tales of Buffalo Bill
And things that they have done
This funny little man in my hometown
Is loved by everyone

Jimbo Jenkins is his name
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame′s his favorite chair
Sittin′ on the Courthouse square

Children gather all around
From miles and miles they come
To listen to this fine little man
Who's loved by everyone


He′ll tell you tales of Custer
And the battles they have won
And he can prove the story's true
By the notches on his gun

Little cowboys injuns too
Think he′s the grandest thing
The way he tells his stories
You can hear the bullets sing

Jimbo Jenkins is his name
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame′s his favorite chair
Sittin' on the Courthouse square

Jesse James and Robin Hood
Ain't got a thing on him
′Cause he did more in three weeks′ time
Than either one of them

Someday I know there'll be a statue
On the Courthouse square
There will be old Jimbo Jenkins
In his favorite chair


He′ll go down in history
That is plain to see
For all his tales of yesterday
So famous he will be

Jimbo Jenkins is his name
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame′s his favorite chair
Sittin' on the Courthouse square

Little cowboys injuns too
Think he′s the grandest thing
'Cause when he tells his stories
They can hear the bullets sing
