Well DJimmy played harmonica in the Gpub where I was Dborn
He Dplayed it from the night-time to the Gpeaceful early Amorn
He Gsoothed souls of psychos and the Dmen who had the Ahorn
And they Dall looked very Ghappy in the AmorDning
But DJimmy didn't like his place Gin this world of Dours
Where the Delephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd Ghad too many Apowers
So Gsad to see the grieving of the Dpeople he was Aleaving
And he Dtook the road for GGod knows in the AmorDning
We Dwalked him to the Gstation in the Drain
We Dkissed him as we Gput him on the Atrain
And we Gsang him a Dsong of times long Ggone
Though we Dknew that we'd be Aseeing him Dagain, A(far Daway!)
DSad to say I must be on my way
So Gbuy me beer and Dwhiskey 'cause I'm Agoing far away, (far Daway!)
I'd Dlike to think I'll be returning when I can
To the Ggreatest little Dboozer and to ASally MacLenDnane
The Dyears passed by the times had changed I Ggrew to be a Dman
I Dlearned to love the virtues of sweet GSally MacLeAnnane
I Gtook the jeers and drank the beers and I Dcrawled back home at Adawn
And Dended up a Gbarman in the AmorDning
I Dplied the pump and took the hump and Gwatered whiskey Ddown
I Dtalked of whores and horses to the Gmen who drank the Abrown
I Gheard them say that Jimmy's making Dmoney far Aaway
Some Dpeople left for Gheaven without AwarDning
We Dwalked him to the Gstation in the Drain
We Dkissed him as we Gput him on the Atrain
And we Gsang him a Dsong of times long Ggone
Though we Dknew that we'd be Aseeing him Dagain, A(far Daway!)
DSad to say I must be on my way
So Gbuy me beer and Dwhiskey 'cause I'm Agoing far away, (far Daway!)
I'd Dlike to think I'll be returning when I can
To the Ggreatest little Dboozer and to ASally MacLenDnane

When DJimmy came back home he was surGprised that they were Dgone
He Dasked me all the details of the Gtrain that they went Aon
Some Gpeople they are scared to croak but DJimmy drank Auntil he choked
And Dtook the road for Gheaven in the AmorDning
We Dwalked him to the Gstation in the Drain
And we Dkissed him as we Gput him on the Atrain
And we Gsang him a Dsong of times long Ggone
Though we Dknew that we'd be Aseeing him Dagain, A(far Daway!)
DSad to say I must be on my way
So Gbuy me beer and Dwhiskey 'cause I'm Agoing far away, (far Daway!)
I'd Dlike to think I'll be returning when I can
To the Ggreatest little Dboozer and to ASally MacLenDnane
