(C G F C F G C F C G C)
We did everything we could for you Jim but
Your fever just wouldn't go down
So we put you in the wagon Jim
And this mornin' we got you back to town
But when we got here you were gone Jim
And there wasn't anything anybody could do
And they dressed you up in a fancy suit and a neck-tie
So today, we wore one too.
