Jimmie Reed's dad up and died.
Mom & son survived.
So what the hell - They set sail
For the new world.

Twenty years in Illinois.
Now Jimmy got a wife, a shop, his boys.
But in his skull i-deas turned and twisted.

A well-worn copy of Hasting's guide
And the good 'ole Donners by his side,
They plotted a path through the pass
Of them Granite dragons.

Then Jimmy's knife found Snyder's chest.
And, except for Snyder, it was for the best
Cause Jimmy made the fort before the wagons.

Ooooh

Heaven high on Sierra's side,
Thirty-eight souls froze & died.
And as for the rest, well,
We know their gruesome story.

But Lucky Jimmy was fightin' a war!
And all the while he prayed,
No, he swore,
He'd save the stranded party
In great God's glory! ...

So the good 'ole Reeds,
They made it down a-live.
But the Donner's never did arrive
To view the Napa & her fertile valley

In mission tents among fruit trees,
Lived Lucky Jimmy & his Reeds.
They were pleased - They'd es-caped
The Reaper's tally.

Ooooh

Then Lucky Jimmy, he grew hot & bold
When he sniffed some California gold.
So he panned himself 2 satchels & a future.

So there ya' go friends, the lesson's learned.
Love & money might as well be burned.
For in this life it's better to be lucky.
