(Jim uh huh, Jim uh huh, Jim)Jim, I did everything that I couldBut your fever just wouldn't die downSo I tied your horse to the wagon bedAnd last night I brought you to town.But when I got there you were gone JimAnd there was nothin' nobody could doI bought you a suit and a tie JimAnd today I wore one too.Jim I wore a tie todayThe first one that I ever woreAnd you'd have said I looked like a dummyOut of a dry goods store.Jim they said a lot of thingsBut I don't know a thing they saidMy mind kept wanderin' off down the trailBack to the times that we've had.(Wind her through sun and the rain)And for gold on the cuffWe've done everything in the book I guessAnd a lot they'd never thought up.Well Jim, you're ridin' on aheadI guess that's how it has beBut when you reach those streets paved with gold JimStake a claim out for me...
