Jimbo Jenkins - Jim Reeves

There's a funny little man in my hometown
His age is ninety three
He's a cute little man with a funny little grin
You'll love him, yes siree.

He'll tell you tales of Buffalo Bill
And things that they have done
This funny little man in my hometown
Is loved by everyone.

Jimbo Jenkins is his name
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
Sittin' on the Courthouse square.

Children gather all around
From miles and miles they come
To listen to this fine little man
Who's loved by everyone.

He'll tell you tales of Custer
And the battles they have won
And he can prove the story's true
By the nothes on his gun.

Little cowboys injuns too
Think he's the grandest thing
They way he tells his stories
You can hear the bullets zing.

Jimbo Jenkins is his name
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
Sittin' on the Courthouse square.

Jesse James and Robin Hood
Ain't got a thing on him
'Cause he did more in three weeks time
Than either one of them.

Someday I know there'll be a statue
On the Courthouse square
There will be old Jimbo Jenkins
In his favorite chair.

He'll go down in history
That is plain to see
For all his tales of yesterday
So famous he will be.
