Tom T. Hall - Lying Jim lyrics

Lying Jim Lying Jim one of our local brothers Hey there Lying Jim come on tell us another Now ole Lying Jim got caught one time a stealin' a bunch of chickens The neighbor all got so upset that the law went out to get him Jim was sittin' there eatin' a leg and the law said what have you done Jim said I was just pa**in' that house and these chickens followed me home Lying Jim Lying Jim... Now ole Lying Jim got drunk one time he pa**ed right out in church Fell right off the front row pew someone said Lord he's hurt Next mornin' ole Jim sobered up out on the preacher's farm He said preacher I was wra**lin' the devil and that rascal broke my arm Lying Jim Lying Jim... ( guitar ) Now ole Lying Jim was broke one time and he tried to borrow money Now some thought Jim was terrible some folks thought Jim was funny They said Jim we'll give you thirty dollars just for one more lie Jim said boys I ain't got time my old rich uncle just died Lying Jim Lying Jim... Now Jim was seein' the neighbor's wife and the man came home from work Ole Jim grabbed his clothes to run but he only got his shirt Well round and round that house they went and Jim was just in the kitchen Jim said I was just showin' your wife where I got bit by a kitten Lying Jim Lying Jim...
