Lyrics for Song: Jim, I Wore a Tie Today
Lyrics for Album: Jimmy Dean Is Here! [RCA Victor] [1967]
(Cindy Walker)
(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
Imagine you'd've said that I looked like a dummy
Out of some dry goods store.
Jim, they said a lot of things
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...
