Lyrics

Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the nighttime to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of cycles and of men who had the horn
They all looked very happy in the morning
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Well, the elephant man broke strongmen
Necks when he'd had too many powers
So sad to see the dweeblin' of the people that he's leaving
He took the road for God knows in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain (In the rain!)
And we kissed him as we put him on the train (On the train!)
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
So sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
The years pass by, times did change, I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and came back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank with frown
I heard them saying "Jimmy's making money far away"
And some people left for heaven without warning
We walked him to the station in the rain (In the rain!)
And we kissed him as we put him on the train (On the train!)
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
So sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people there are scared to croak, but Jimmy drank until he choked
He took the road for God knows in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain (In the rain!)
And we kissed him as we put him on the train (On the train!)
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
So sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
So sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
