(Jim Jim) Jim I did everything I could do but your fever just wouldn`t die down
So I tied your horse to the wagon and last night I brought you to town
When I got you there Jim you`s gone and there was nothin` nobody could do
So I bought you a suit and a tie Jim and today I wore one too
Jim I wore a tie today the first one that I ever wore
And you`d`ve said that I looked like a dummy out of a dry goods store
Jim they said a lot of things but I couldn`t tell you one thing they said
Somehow my mind kept wanderin`
Wanderin` down back that trail back to the times that we`ve had
One thing bout you old friend is side by side sun or rain
How many times pannin` gold on the cuff
We did about everything in the book I guess
And prob`ly some things that they never read or thought up
Well Jim you`re ridin` on ahead and I I guess that`s the way that`s gotta be
But Jim when you reach them streets paved with gold nobody stake a claim out for me
(Jim hmm Jim) Jim I wore a tie today
