Tom T. Hall Me and Jimmie Rodgers Lyrics:
Me and Jimmie Rodgers used to ride them rollin'
boxcars in the summer time Jimmie he'd play his
guitar I'd lay back and watch the stars and sip my
wine Me and Audie Murphy used to crawl out on our
bellies through the German lines Audie I won't
leave you here I'll pull you through cause you
know you're a friend of mine Me and Phil Rizzuto
didn't we move like lightnin' round there on the
double play I'd look over in the stands and
Marilyn would see me and she'd smile and wave Hell
no Coach Lombadi this old broken back ain't
nothin' if the game is saved And fellers if I
don't pull through just put a little golden
football on my grave John Wayne he once said to me
them Japs they'll take that Island And we've got
to save the old Red White and Blue Someone's got
to swim out to that submarine and warn 'em You

know T I hate like hell to ask you to Me and Sugar
Ray we used to spar together up there an old
Stillman's Gym Knowin' someday it would be the
garden and the championship for me or him And Coop
if no one in this town is man enough to back you
when Frank Miller comes Come High Noon I'll walk
with you I've had a few but I know how to use a
gun [ac.guitar]
Betty Grable don't you cry you know you can be a
star And with my drinkin' I'd just hold you back
So go on sign the contracts kid I'll read about
you in some old newspaper from some rack Cause me
and Jimmie Rodgers we still ride them rollin'
boxcars in the summer time Jimmie he plays his
guitar I lay back and watch the stars and sip my
wine Me and Audie Murphy we still crawl out on our
bellies through the German lines At away there's
scooner shoot that ball to me and I swear we'll
get two this time (So what's old Hank I said Hank
I wrote a real good song and he said lemme hear it
I went out of a truck to give my guitar to rest is
hist'ry)
