Jim I Wore A Tie Today

Jim, Jim, I Wore A Tie Today The first one that I ever wore And you have said, that I looked like a dummy Out of a dry goods store. Oh Jim, Jim the preacher said a lot of things But I didn't hear a word he said My mind kept wanderin' back down the trail Back to the good times we had. Ridin' the herd through the sun and the rain Pannin' 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 ridin' on ahead Well if that's how it's goin' to be When you reach those streets paved with gold Jim stake a claim out for me. () We did everything we could for you Jim but Your fever just wouldn't go down So we put you in the wagon Jim And this mornin' we got you back to town But when we got here you were gone Jim And there wasn't anything anybody could do And they dressed you up in a fancy suit and a neck-tie So today, we wore one too.
