(peak Billboard position # 17 in 1962)
Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk
James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
Now James and I we went to mama and showed her my diamond ring
She said my poor little baby, you must be crazy, to think of such a
thing
So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
Now James and I we went to daddy and said that we want to be wed
Daddy said nope, you`ll just have to elope and laughed as he went to
bed
But James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
I`d hate to see `em in the morning when they both completely flip
He`ll be sayin` they cain`t, she`ll be feeling faint
And I`ll be kissing my husband`s lips
So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
FADE
James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
