Jimmy Blue (feat. Bill Chambers)
My name is Jimmy Blue
I know how to shoot a gun
And the bush like the back of my hand
Never far away from trouble
I was always on the run
Destined to be a wanted man
I met him by the river
Where he came to wash his clothes
He was nothin' like the others in our town
I was drawn to the dangers
Of the life that he chose
We fell in love as the sun was sinking down
I can still taste his kiss as I lie in my bed
While he rides that range in the cold
I picture his face and the sweet words he said
This love will never grow old
I never knew my Daddy
But my Mother's name was Rose
I had two baby sisters I loved
I'd wait by the river until my darlin' showed
Our only witness was the Lord up above
He was swimmin' in the river
So I threw off my clothes
As the sunshine kissed my bare skin
My heart was racing as he held me so close
That moment I prayed would never end
I can still taste his kiss as I lie in my bed
While he rides that range in the cold
I picture his face and the sweet words he said
This love will never grow old
I was shipped to Australia
For a crime I'd never done
Sent to work on another man's land
He was a mean old bastard
So, I found me a gun
Rode away, left him buried in the sand
Now my brother was a gambler
He was desperate in debt
When he saw Jimmy's face downtown
He'd seen us by the river
And the fortune he could get
He told them where my Jimmy could be found
I can still taste his kiss as I lie in my bed
While he rides that range in the cold
I picture his face and the sweet words he said
This love will never grow old
I rode like the wind
To thwart their evil plans
But I arrived at the river too late
Their guns were a-blazing
He didn't stand a chance
As I watched my poor Jimmy meet his fate
His name was Jimmy Blue
He taught me how to shoot a gun
In the mornin' I'll be taking my last ride
It'll only take one bullet
Then I'll be goin' home
To my darlin', I'll forever be his bride
I can still taste his kiss as I cry in my bed
While he rides that range in the sky
I picture his face and the sweet words we'll say
In that land, where we'll never say goodbye
I know how to shoot a gun
And the bush like the back of my hand
Never far away from trouble
I was always on the run
Destined to be a wanted man
I met him by the river
Where he came to wash his clothes
He was nothin' like the others in our town
I was drawn to the dangers
Of the life that he chose
We fell in love as the sun was sinking down
I can still taste his kiss as I lie in my bed
While he rides that range in the cold
I picture his face and the sweet words he said
This love will never grow old
I never knew my Daddy
But my Mother's name was Rose

I'd wait by the river until my darlin' showed
Our only witness was the Lord up above
