Poor Jimmy Wilson Lyrics - Strawbs - Strawbs

Jimmy Wilson had a glass eye, I could see it 

And he stuttered sometimes 

And he needed a girl friend night times 

Didn't know how to go about it 

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson 

All the boys used to tease him, I know I did it 

And he was my friend 

At school we were always close together 

Hardly a day I didn't see him 

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson 

He used to go out for walks on his own 

With no-one to talk to at all 

He'd walk in the park till the evening grew dark 

Just feeling quite incredibly small 

He was sitting in the park one Sunday evening 

Around about five 

When along came a lady, a total stranger 

Wanted young Jimmy to go with her 

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson
