Jimmy Gray Lyrics by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger

0

It was in the month of sweet July
Their courtship just begun
They was both 18 years old
But he was a little too young
For whenever she'd ask him to do a little job
It was always her to say
"Well I wouldn't know anything about that
But I'll go and ask Jimmy Gray"
I have a field of early corn
It's waiting to be mowed
Love, would you come around with your scythe
And help me to mow it down?
He said "My scythe is rusty
Too blunt for corn or hay
For a mowing machine, the best to be seen
Belongs to Jimmy Gray"
I have a little sports car
But it drives me 'round the bend
Would you come and fit me a new drive shaft
And maybe some new begins(?)
He said "If you take my advice you'll phone up the AA
But if you want a bang-up job
Just go and ask Jimmy Gray"
I have a lovely feather bed
It's big enough for two
Nice and wide
And strong beside
But the frame is split in two
He says "My drill needs sharpening
And there may be some delay"
She turned around and went to the phone
And called up Jimmy Gray
He's fixed your bed
He's mowed a field
And grounded corn to flour
Fit a new drive shaft
And off they went
At 100 miles an hour
So fellas
If ever a girl should ask
"Would you do a little job today?"
Just grab your tools and run like hair
Be there before Jimmy Gray
