Bobby Bare - Me And Jimmie Rodgers lyrics

rate me

Me and Jimmie Rodgers used to ride them rollin' boxcars in the summer time

Jimmie he'd play his guitar I'd lay back and watch the stars and sip my wine

Me and Audie Murphy used to crawl out on our bellies through the German lines

Audie I won't leave you here I'll pull you through cause buddy you're a pal of mine

Me and Phil Rizzuto didn't we move round like lightnin' on the double play

I'd look over in the stands and Marilyn should see me and she'd smile and wave

Hell no Coach Lombardi this old broken back ain't nothin' if the game was saved

And fellers if I don't pull through just put a little golden football on my grave

John Wayne he once said to me them Japs will take the Island

And we've got to save the old Red White and Blue

Someone's got to swim out to the submarine and warn 'em

And Bare you know I hate like hell to ask you to

Me and Tony Zarro we used to spar together up in Stillman's Gym

Knowin' someday it would be the Garden and the championship for me or him

And Coop if no one in this town is man enough to back you when Frank Miller comes

Then come High Noon I'll walk with you I may be young but I know how to use a gun

Judy Grable don't you cry you know you can be a star

And with my drinkin' I'd just hold you back

Go on and sign the contracts hon and I'll read about you

In some old newspaper blowin' cross some lonesome hobo camp

Me and Jimmie Rodgers we still ride them rollin' boxcars in the summer time

Jimmie he plays his guitar I lay back and watch the stars and sip my wine

Me and Audie Murphy we still crawl out on our bellies through the German lines

At away there's scooter shoot that ball to me and I swear we'll get two this time
