Lying Jim Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

Lying Jim, Lying Jim, one of our local brothers 

Hey there Lying Jim, come on tell us another 

Now ole Lying Jim got caught one time a stealin' a bunch of chickens 

The neighbor all got so upset that the law went out to get him 

Jim was sittin' there eatin' a leg and the law said, What have you done 

Jim said, I was just passin' that house 

And these chickens followed me home 

Lying Jim, Lying Jim [unverified] 

Now ole Lying Jim got drunk one time he passed right out in church 

Fell right off the front row pew someone said, Lord, he's hurt 

Next mornin' ole Jim sobered up out on the preacher's farm 

He said, Preacher, I was wrasslin' the devil and that rascal broke my arm

Now ole Lying Jim was broke one time and he tried to borrow money 

Now some thought Jim was terrible some folks thought Jim was funny 

They said, Jim we'll give you thirty dollars, just for one more lie 

Jim said, Boys, I ain't got time my old rich uncle just died

Now Jim was seein' the neighbor's wife and the man came home from work 

Ole Jim grabbed his clothes to run but he only got his shirt 

Well round and round that house they went and Jim was just in the kitchen 

Jim said, I was just showin' your wife where I got bit by a kitten
