(Jim) I Wore a Tie Today

[Intro]
(Jim, ooh Jim)
(Ooh Jim)

[Spoken]
Jim, I did everything that I could
But your fever just wouldn't die down
So I tied your horse to the wagon bed
And last night I brought you to town
But when I got there you were gone, Jim
And there was nothin' nobody could do
I bought you a suit and a tie, Jim
And today I wore one too

[Verse 1]
Jim, I wore a tie today
The first one that I ever wore
And you'd have said I looked like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store

[Verse 2]
Ooh, Jim (Jim, ooh), they said a lot of things
But I don't know a thing they said
My mind kept wanderin' off down the trail
Back to the times that we've had

[Verse 3]
(Ridin' herd through sun and the rain)
Panning for gold on the cuff
We've done everything in the book, I guess
And a lot they'd never thought up

[Verse 4]
Well, Jim (Jim, ooh), you're ridin' on ahead
I guess that's how it has be
But when you reach those streets paved with gold
Jim, stake a claim out for me

[Outro]
(Jim, ooh, Jim)
