Jim O' Jim

Jim ol Jim was a travelin man,
With the clothes on his back, and banjo in hand.
Tryin’ to earn a living, doin’ the best he can.
Jim ol Jim was a travelin man.
He was a drifter, just drifting along,
Such a lonesome feeling, when your…
1000 miles from home.
Ridin’ the rails of an old freight train,
He looks outside and says…
Looks like rain.
Looks like rain, looks like rain
Don’t matter much I’m gunna ride this train.
Jim traveled to a faraway place.
Carrying something that he had saved.
A long lost promise, that he made,
Left her gold nuggets, on her grave.
Jim ol Jim was a travelin man,
With the clothes on his back, and banjo in hand.
Tryin’ to earn a living, doin’ the best he can.
Jim ol Jim was a travelin man.
Ridin’ the rails of an old freight train,
He looks outside and says…
Looks like rain.

All Night Long
02:59
|

When the sun came up this mornin'… baby I was all alone.
And all I had, when I got up, was the message on the telephone
Yer talkin' about some so n' so, and goin' on n' on
But all I wanna know, is where were you,
All night long?
Trouble sleepin'… yes you was on my mind.
I didn't know what you were doin', I didn't know if you're alright.
I couldn't understand, a thing you said, so please don't get me wrong.
All I wanna know, is where were you,
All night long?
Ohhh oh oh wee… the truth will set you free.
But I gotta bad bad feelin', so please tell me that I'm wrong!
Where were you,
All night long ?
Now your hair's___ all messy, get it off your chest…
Open up to me baby, and might I suggest,
That you tell me mama, just what's goin' on
Start by telling' me, where were you,
All night long?

Gamble On Love
02:54
|
|||
I don't play no black jack.
Always over twenty-one.
I'm not in, to poker baby...
No flush, no straight no run.
Me and my money,
You can't tear us apart.
I just gamble on lovein' baby, and I
Bet with my heart.
I don't do no roulette.
And 50/50 ain't my thing.
I just gamble on lovein'...
Cause I got a chance to win.
So hold on to your dice baby, * stay on the 1 after bridge *
Cause I always seem to loose.
But when it comes to lovein'...
I'll take my chance with you.
( Solo ) ( Chorus )
I don't like to take chances,
When there are no in-betweens.
And Texas hold em, I'll always fold em,
And I can't stand slot machines.

Meet Me There
03:51
|
|||
I don't know when , I don't know where,
It don't really matter , Just meet me there
I don't have the time, And don't know the place,
only the Lord knows, so be the the case.
You gotta meet me; you gotta meet me there,
You gotta meet me; you gotta meet me there,
You gotta meet me; you gotta meet me there,
No I don't know when, and I don't know where.
Funny how the time slips away,
That whistles blown', ya got-ta board that train…
There comes a time in everyone's life,
When you got to cross, over that line...
( Chorus )

Dead Ass Fool
04:28
|
|||
You know I love you baby,
But yous so cool and crule.
Long as I gunna love that gal…
Looks like I gonna be her fool.
Give her all my money,
And I treat her like a queen.
I’m that womans fool,
I let her do most anything.
Now that woman tried to kill me,
Man now that ain’t right.
If I stay with this woman,
I’ll be one dead ass fool.
( Solo )
( Verse I )

City Lights
03:12
|
|||
Now pack your things;
Honey we movin’ on.
These city lights;
It’s really got me down.
We a movin’ out;
Way out in the woods.
This ol’ city life;
Won’t do you no good.
No more traffic;
And no more waitin’ in line.
Just a lil’ piece of land:
But a big piece of mind.
We’ll be so happy;
Now you just wait and see.
A simple life;
The way it’s spose to be.

3 piece suit, Sunday shoes…
I’m goin’ home did you hear the news ?
Polished my nails, tie’s in a bow…
Well I’m all dressed up and I’m ready to go.
Combed my hair, part down the side… pressed and
pleated pants, I’m dressed to the 9’s.
I’m good and ready, and this I know…
All dressed up and I’m ready to go.
All dressed up and I’m ready to go.
I’m all dressed up, I’m gunna hit the road.
I’m good and ready, so swing it low
I’m gunna look, my best, when I meet my lord.
You see me smilin’ it’s a natural fact…
I’ve lived a honest life and wouldn’t turn it back.
I got this suit, a long time ago.
All dressed up and ready to go.
