Jimmy went for wood and the crows got him
The crows got him, the crows got him
Jimmy went for wood and the crows got him
The crows got him good
Jimmy went for water and the crows got him
The crows got him, the crows got him
Jimmy went for water and the crows got him
The crows got him good

He went for the wood
He went for the water
He went to the pub
For the town [bad word] s daughter
kick and a thud, a puddle of blood
No you won’ t see Jimmy no more
No you won’t see Jimmy no more

Jimmy went to war and the krauts got him
The krauts got him, the krauts got him
Jimmy went to war and the krauts got him
The krauts got him good
Jimmy went to sea and the pirates got him
The pirates got him, the pirates got him
Jimmy went to sea and the pirates got him
The pirates got him good

Well he went to war, he went to sea
He buried his metal by the old oak tree
With his heart in the east
But his [bad word] in the west
No you won’t see Jimmy no more
No you won’t see Jimmy no more

Jimmy had a pair but the river got him
The river got him, the river got him
Jimmy had a pair but the river got him
The river got him good
Jimmy met the gun that finally got him
That finally got him, that finally got him
Jimmy met the gun that finally got him
That finally got him good

Well he fell for the pair
And went for the gun
He pumped three slugs
At the sheriff’s son
If you’re gonna be dumb
Then you better be tough
No you won’t see Jimmy no more
