Lyrics:
hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink
hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink
To her boy one summer day
"If your mind's made up that way, I wish you well
The old home will be lonesome
We'll miss you when you go
The birds won't sing
Watch them when dawn is due
Sharing one space
We'll walk by night
We'll fly by day
Moonlighting strangers
Who just met on the way
Jimmy and Mary were quite a pair back in their younger days
They met a married in six weeks time and
That was sixty years ago this May
Four kids made
clang
And like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die
Must fill dishonored graves
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains
Into the bush
Jimmy met Mary on the Fourth of July
Independence Day, you shoulda' seen her brown eyes
She come up from behind and stared tugging on his coat,
Some day I know
She'll come to Paris again
And I'll find her where I lost her
By the lovely river Seine
There we met and there we parted
By the lovely
in and helped pull me out
Now the years they rolled by and old Shep he grew old
His eye sight at last it grew dim
Then one day the doctor looked
Met a man just the other day,
Said his name was Jim. Boy, won't you take a look!
Got a car for you it's a real steal.
Cleaned it right down new
died for you and me
I met them both in Dixieland
'Cause I've got Jesus and Bocephus
They both help me to live my life
I went from Jim Beam, to my bible
kismet
Until you came by, kismet and I were strangers
But now that you're here, it's suddenly clear we've met
This is my lucky day, love's in the cards
and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't even blink
And the hangin' judge was sober,
the seas apart
On the day we met I began to want you
On the day we met I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling
wanna dance with Annie
Got a brand new love was named, Short Fat Fannie
One day while I was visitin' down at Heart Break Hotel
That's where I met
know I got no job".
She said "I tell you what honey...let's find a place to rob".
Now the man at the station's name was Jim...I saw it sewed on his
the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka and The Santa Fe
Here she comes
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hey, Jim you'd better get the ring
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
clang
And like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die
Must fill dishonored graves
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains
Into the bush
the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka and The Santa Fe
Here she comes
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hey, Jim you'd better get the ring
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
we'll never meet again (at Smokey Joe's Café)
I'd rather eat my chili beans
At Jack's or John's or Jim's or Jean's
Than taking my chances eating down (at
One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Café
Just sittin', diggin' all them scenes at Smokey Joe's Café
A chick I'd never seen before
Met a man just the other day ---
said his name was Jim. Boy, won't you take a look!
Got a car for you --- it's a real steal
Cleaned it right down ---
wrote a letter to my home.
It was just the other day
I was drinkin' on my pay
When I met an old friend I used to know.
He said your mother's dead
we still had something to lose
And by dawn I wanted to marry you
With our attitudes by day
And our secret dreams by night
Can we really live
