Johnny Cash Jim, I Wore A Tie Today Lyrics

Jim, I Wore A Tie Today Lyrics

(Jim uh huh, Jim uh huh, Jim)



Jim, I did everything that I
could

But your fever just wouldn't die down

So I tied your horse to
the wagon bed

And last night I brought you to town.



But when
I got there you were gone Jim

And there was nothin' nobody could do

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
have said I looked like a dummy

Out of a dry goods store.



Jim they said a lot of things

But I don't know a thing they said

My mind kept wanderin' off down the trail

Back to the times that we've
had.



(Wind her through sun and the rain)

And for gold on the
cuff

We've done everything in the book I guess

And a lot they'd
never thought up.



Well Jim, you're ridin' on ahead

I guess
that's how it has be

But when you reach those streets paved with gold
Jim

Stake a claim out for me...
