Jimmy went for wood and the crows got him The crows got him, the crows got him Jimmy went for wood and the crows got him The crows got him good Jimmy went for water and the crows got him The crows got him, the crows got him Jimmy went for water and the crows got him The crows got him good
He went for the wood He went for the water He went to the pub For the town drunk’s daughter A kick and a thud, a puddle of blood No you won’ t see Jimmy no more No you won’t see Jimmy no more
Jimmy went to war and the krauts got him The krauts got him, the krauts got him Jimmy went to war and the krauts got him The krauts got him good Jimmy went to sea and the pirates got him The pirates got him, the pirates got him Jimmy went to sea and the pirates got him The pirates got him good
Well he went to war, he went to sea He buried his metal by the old oak tree With his heart in the east But his arse in the west No you won’t see Jimmy no more No you won’t see Jimmy no more
Jimmy had a pair but the river got him The river got him, the river got him Jimmy had a pair but the river got him The river got him good Jimmy met the gun that finally got him That finally got him, that finally got him Jimmy met the gun that finally got him That finally got him good
Well he fell for the pair And went for the gun He pumped three slugs At the sheriff’s son If you’re gonna be dumb Then you better be tough No you won’t see Jimmy no more
