The Ballad Of Winnie & Jim

THE BALLAD OF WINNIE AND JIM Winnie was a good one raised in a changing world Never thought about grades just a daydreaming dizzy girl And Winnie had a man and a kid on the way Barely old enough to look after themselves they'd say But She never did care just dreamed of a home by the sea Where The air was so clean you could reach out and almost believe Oh and Jim was around for the ride he said No kid of his would ever grow up with a dead beat dad And he loved Winnie more than even she could have know So they left for the coast, just the 2 of them and baby in tow And when the nights got hard and the money ran low Jim would grab her by the hand and pull her in close Say there's no moment here that I'd trade for a pot of their gold We're gona sit here watching the sun dance till we get old And I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you Everything you need Well I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you everything you need So time rumbled on soon 2 hungry mouths became three Jimmy got himself a job of the deadbeat variety But there's food on the table and blood in his mouth He don't mind the taste, used to it now So he looked to the sky and he thought well the boys done good Winnie said Jim you gave me the life you promised you would And when the nights got hard and the money ran low Jim would grab her by the hand and pull her in close Said there's no moment here that I'd trade for a pot of their gold We're gona sit here watching the sun dance till we get old And I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you everything you need And I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you everything you need But jimmy got sick as the summer went on So Winnie had to pick up where he'd left off They sat and held his hand as the sleep rolled in And loved him just the same as she always did They'd sit and talk about when the doubts were raised And how they Proved them wrong each time and time again And when the nights got hard and the money ran low Jim would grab her by the hand and pull her in close Said there's no moment here that I'd trade for a pot of their gold We're gona sit here watching the sun dance till we get old And I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you Everything you need And I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you everything you need Yer I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you everything you need Well I'll give you everything you want And I'll give you everything you need
