Jim I Wore a Tie Today Lyrics

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 nothing nobody could do
I bought you a suit and a tie Jim and today I wore one tooJim 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 wandering 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 to be
But when you reach those streets paved with gold Jim stake a claim out for me
