Jim I Wore A Tie Today Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 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 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
