[Chorus]
Jim, Jim, I wore a tie today
The first one that I ever wore
And you'd have said that I look like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store, oh
Jim, Jim, they said a lot of things
But I didn't hear a word they said
My mind kept wandering off down the trail
Back to the good times we had
Riding herd in 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 dreamed up
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, stake a claim out for me

[Verse 2]
Riding herd in 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 dreamed up
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, stake a claim out for me
