Bobby Bare - Me And Jimmie Rodgers lyrics
Your rating:
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
