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 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
