Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he's had too many
powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
And he took the road for God knows in the morning We kissed him as we put him on the train
We walked him to the station in the rain
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey cos I'm going far away (far away)
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
And ended up a barman in the morning
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
Some people left for heaven without warning We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
And we sang him a song of times long gone
So buy me beer and whiskey cos I'm going far away (far away)
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
And took the road for heaven in the morning
He asked me al the details of the train that they went on
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
So buy me beer and whiskey cos I'm going far away (far away) To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
