VERSE 1
Well JDimmy played harmonica in the pGub where I was boDrn
He plaDyed it from the night-time to the peGaceful early mAorn
He sooGthed souls of psychos and the mDen who had the hoArn
and they alDl looked very haGppy in the mAorninDg
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 waDlked him to the staGtion in the raDin
We kiDssed him as we puGt him on the trAain
And we sGang him a soDng of times long goGne
though we knDew that we'd be sAeeing him agaDin A
SDad to say I must be on my way
so buGy me beer and whDiskey 'cause I'm goAing far away
I'd liDke to think I'll be returning when I can
to the greaGtest little boDozer and to SaAlly McLeDnnane
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
