Danny O'Keefe - The Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues lyrics

O'Keefe They're putting up a building down on Main Street Paid for with all those truckers' dues But the man who laid the first stone on the corner Had the Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues Now some say Jimmy's down in Argentina Others tell you that he simply changed his name And a surgeon made him look a bit like Nixon But aside from that he's still pretty much the same Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy? That's a question I know we all would love to know Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy? He's gone to where those good ol' boys all go Now the gang that runs the union said to Jimmy Here's what we're all prepared to do We're gonna build the Boys a brand new union building And we want you to dedicate it, too But I heard a rumor down at the dedication From the kinda guy who has a nose for news He said Jimmy died of terminal cement poisoning And the Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues They said, Here's a thing you men can all be proud of They laid a horseshoe wreath upon the cornerstone They said, Here's to freight and the Great American Freeway And the man who helped us make it all our own Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy? That's a question I know we all would love to know Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy? He's gone to where those good ol' boys all go
