VERSE 1
Well JCimmy played harmonica in the pFub where I was boCrn
He plaCyed it from the night-time to the peFaceful early mGorn
He sooFthed souls of psychos and the mCen who had the hoGrn
and they alCl looked very haFppy in the mGorninCg
VERSE 2
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving
And he took the road from nowhere in the morning
CHORUS
We waClked him to the staFtion in the raCin
We kiCssed him as we puFt him on the trGain
And we sFang him a soCng of times long goFne
though we knCew that we'd be sGeeing him agaCin G
SCad to say I must be on my way
so buFy me beer and whCiskey 'cause I'm goGing far away
I'd liCke to think I'll be returning when I can
to the greaFtest little boCozer and to SaGlly McLeCnnane
VERSE 3
The years passed by the times had changed Igrew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally McLennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning
VERSE 4
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
Some people left for heaven without warning
CHORUS
INTRO
VERSE 5
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they where gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people they arescared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
And took the road for heaven in the morning
