Hall Tom T: Me and Jimmie Rodgers

Me and Jimmie Rodgers used to ride them rollin' boxcars in the summer timeJimmie he'd play his guitar I'd lay back and watch the stars and sip my wineMe and Audie Murphy used to crawl out on our bellies through the German linesAudie I won't leave you hereI'll pull you through cause you know you're a friend of mineMe and Phil Rizzuto didn't we move like lightnin' round there on the double playI'd look over in the stands and Marilyn would see me and she'd smile and waveHell no Coach Lombadi this old broken back ain't nothin' if the game is savedAnd fellers if I don't pull through just put a little golden football on my graveJohn Wayne he once said to me them Japs they'll take that IslandAnd we've got to save the old Red White and BlueSomeone's got to swim out to that submarine and warn 'emYou know T I hate like hell to ask you toMe and Sugar Ray we used to spar together up there an old Stillman's GymKnowin' someday it would be the garden and the championship for me or himAnd Coop if no one in this town is man enough to back you when Frank Miller comesCome High Noon I'll walk with you I've had a few but I know how to use a gun[ ac.guitar ]Betty Grable don't you cry you know you can be a starAnd with my drinkin' I'd just hold you backSo go on sign the contracts kidI'll read about you in some old newspaper from some rackCause me and Jimmie Rodgers we still ride them rollin' boxcars in the summer timeJimmie he plays his guitar I lay back and watch the stars and sip my wineMe and Audie Murphy we still crawl out on our bellies through the German linesAt away there's scooner shoot that ball to me and I swear we'll get two this time(So what's old Hank I said Hank I wrote a real good song and he said lemme hear itI went out of a truck to give my guitar to rest is hist'ry)
