Jim, I Wore a Tie Today Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Jim, Jim
I wore a tie today
The first that I ever wore
And you have said that I look like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store

Oh, Jim, Jim, they said a lot of things
But I didn′t hear a word they said
My mind kept wandering
Off down the trail
Back to the good times we had


Riding herd and 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, stake a claim out for me

Riding herd and the sun and the rain
Panning for gold on the cuff
We've did everything in the books I guess
And a lot that they never dreamed up

Oh Jim, Jim, so you′re riding on ahead
Well if that′s how its going to be
When you reach those streets paved with gold
Jim, stake a claim out for me
