Big Jimmy and Felicidad
Words and Music: Graeme Connors
The local gossips had a field day when Big Jimmy came 
home
After three weeks in South East Asia he didn't come 
back alone
And his mates at the terminal gates couldn't believe 
their eyes
When he walked off the plane hand in hand with his 
young Filipino bride - now
Big Jimmy was a wild one unpredictable as lightning
Drinking and fighting was all he ever had
So you can well imagine what everybody was sayin'
Ah the odds were against them Big Jimmy and Felicidad
They set up house in a caravan down on Silica St.
She put in a little garden she got the place looking 
neat
And he was out of the dozer soon as the whistle blew
Headed for home his work mates crowing “hey she sure 
put a spell on you” - cause
Big Jimmy was a wild one unpredictable as lightning
Drinking and fighting yeah he was one of the lads
But isn't it amazing how a woman will change things
Just like it happened with Big Jimmy and Felicidad
Instrumental....
Felicidad took a holiday a year or so down the track
Called Big Jimmy from Manila to say she wasn't coming 
back
Said she loved him but she couldn't fit in she'd 
learned the language but she had no friends
Big Jimmy went berserk brought his dozer home from work 
and completely wrecked the
caravan
Big Jimmy was a wild one unpredictable as lightning
Drinking and fighting was all he ever had
And last I heard he's in the Top End out there 
somewhere in his D10
They didn't get the happy ending Big Jimmy and 
Felicidad
