[Verse 1]
Well JiDmmy played harGmonica in the pub where I was bDorn
He plaDyed it from the nighGt-time to the peaceful early mAorn
He sooGthed souls of psychos and the mDen who had the hoArn
and they aDll looked very hapGpy in the moArninDg
Now JDimmy didn't like his place in Gthis world of ourDs
WhereD the elephant man broke strong men'sG necks when heA'd had too many powers
So saGd to see the grieving of the peDople he was leaviAng
And he tooDk the road from Gnowhere in tAhe moDrning
[Chorus]
We waDlked him to the staGtion in the raDin
We kiDssed him as we puGt him on the trAain
And we sGang him a soDng of times long goGne
though we knDew that we'd be sAeeing him agaDin A
SDad to say I must be on my way
so buGy me beer and whDiskey 'cause I'm goAing far away
I'd liDke to think I'll be returning when I can
to the greaGtest little boDozer and to SaAlly McLeDnnane
[Verse 2]
The yDears passed by the times had cGhanged Igrew to bDe a man
I leaDrned to love the virtues of sweet SaGlly McLennane A
I tooGk the jeers and drank the beersD and I crawled baAck home at dawn
And ended Dup a barman in tGhe morning A D
I plaDyed the pump and took the humpG and watered whisDkey down
I talDked of whores and horses to the men Gwho drank the Abrown
I heaGrd them say that Jimmy's makingD money far away A
Some peoplDe left for heaveGn without waArningD
[Chorus]
We waDlked him to the staGtion in the raDin
We kiDssed him as we puGt him on the trAain
And we sGang him a soDng of times long goGne
though we knDew that we'd be sAeeing him agaDin A
SDad to say I must be on my way
so buGy me beer and whDiskey 'cause I'm goAing far away
I'd liDke to think I'll be returning when I can
to the greaGtest little boDozer and to SaAlly McLeDnnane
[Verse 3]
When DJimmy came back home he was suGrprised that theyD where gone
He asDked me all the details of the train Gthat they wentA on
Some Gpeople they arescared to croak Dbut Jimmy drank uAntil he choked
And took tDhe road for heavGen in the moArningD
