Jim I Wore A Tie Today Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

(Jim Jim) Jim I did everything I could do but your fever just wouldn't die down 

So I tied your horse to the wagon and last night I brought you to town 

When I got you there Jim you's gone and there was nothin' nobody could do 

So 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've said that I looked like a dummy out of a dry goods store 

Jim they said a lot of things but I couldn't tell you one thing they said 

Somehow my mind kept wanderin' 

Wanderin' down back that trail back to the times that we've had 

One thing bout you old friend is side by side sun or rain 

How many times pannin' gold on the cuff 

We did about everything in the book I guess 

And prob'ly some things that they never read or thought up 

Well Jim you're ridin' on ahead and I I guess that's the way that's gotta be 

But Jim when you reach them streets paved with gold nobody stake a claim out for me 

(Jim hmm Jim) Jim I wore a tie today
