[Verse 1: Willie Nelson]
Jim, Jim
I wore a tie today
The first that I ever wore
You have said that I look like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store
[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
Oh, Jim, Jim, the preacher said a lot of things
But I didn't hear a word he said
My mind kept wandering
Back down the trail
Back to the good times we had
[Pre-Chorus: Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson]
Riding herd through the sun and the rain
Panning for gold on the cuff
We did everything in the books, I guess
And a lot that they never thought up
[Verse 3: Both Cash and Nelson]
Oh, Jim, Jim, so you're riding on ahead
Well, if that's how it's going to be
When you reach those streets paved with gold
Jim, take a claim out for me
Jim, Jim
I wore a tie today
The first that I ever wore
You have said that I look like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store
[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
Oh, Jim, Jim, the preacher said a lot of things
But I didn't hear a word he said
My mind kept wandering
Back down the trail
Back to the good times we had
[Pre-Chorus: Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson]
Riding herd through the sun and the rain
Panning for gold on the cuff
We did everything in the books, I guess
And a lot that they never thought up
[Verse 3: Both Cash and Nelson]
Oh, Jim, Jim, so you're riding on ahead
Well, if that's how it's going to be
When you reach those streets paved with gold
Jim, take a claim out for me
