Jimmy Gray Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It was in the month of sweet July
[C]and a courtship had just be[G]gun.
They was both eighteen years [C]old,
but [A]he was a little too [D]young.
For [G]whenever she'd ask him to do a little [C]job,
he was always heard to [G]say,
Well, I wouldn't know anything [C]about that,
better go and ask [D]Jimmy Gray.[G]
I have a field of early corn,
[C]it's waiting to be mow[G]n.
Love, you come around with your [C]scythe
and [A]help me to mow it [D]down?
He [G]said, my scythe is rusty,
too [C]blunt for corn or [G]hay.
For a mowing machine,
the [C]best to be seen
belongs to [D]Jimmy Gray.[G]
I have a little sports car,
[C]but it drives me round the [G]bend.
Would you come and fit me a new drive [C]shaft,
or [A]maybe some new big [D]ends?
He [G]says, if you'll take my advice,
[C]you'll phone up the AA.
[G]But if you want a [C]bang -up job,
just go and ask [D]Jimmy Gray.[G]
I have a lovely feather bed,
[C]it's big enough for [G]two.
Nice and wide and strong beside,
but the [A]frame is split in [D]two.
He [G]says my drill needs sharpening
and [C]there may be some [G]delay.
She turned around and [C]went to the phone
and called up [D]Jimmy Gray.[G]
He's fixed her bed,
he's mowed her field
and [C]ground her corn to [G]flour.
Fit a new drive shaft,
and off they [C]went at a
[A]hundred miles an [D]hour.
So [G]fellas, if ever a girl should ask,
would you [C]do a little job [G]today?
Just grab your [C]tools and run like a hare,
be there before [D]Jimmy [G]Gray.
