Tom Paxton - Jones Boy Lyrics






I bought a car; a beauty
It was sexy, it was neat
It made me feel about ten feet tall
To turn the ignition key
I bought a brand new barbecue
And I put it in my yard
And every morning's mail
Brought another credit card

I am a Jones boy
Try keepin' up with me
I am a Jones boy
No way to keep up with me
I am a Jones boy
Try keepin' up with me
I am a Jones boy
No way to keep up with me

I bought myself Bermuda shorts
I bought a Nehru coat
I bought myself a turtleneck shirt
I hung beads around my throat
I'm right on the top of every trend
There ain't nothing I can't dig
Now wait until you catch me
In my brand new Afro wig

I am a Jones boy
Try keepin' up with me
I am a Jones boy
No way to keep up with me
I am a Jones boy
Try keepin' up with me
I am a Jones boy
No way to keep up with me

Now my refrigerator makes ice cubes
And for just nine-hundred more
It plays the hits in stereo
When you open up the door
My TV set is six feet high
And it also dries my hair
My telephone has a musical tone
To tell you I ain't there

And I am a Jones boy
Try keepin' up with me
I am a Jones boy
No way to keep up with me
I am a Jones boy
Try keepin' up with me
I am a Jones boy
No way to keep up with me

    Beautiful words. Couldn’t have been sung better than Tom Paxton and Pete Seeger.

    _Always loved this song. In the mid to late 60's Tom Paxton songs were all the rage in the Dublin Folk Club circuit and this was right up there at the top of them. Beautiful nights in dark folk clubs with no alcohol but only brilliant singing and music_

  5. D.... C....

    Great version by these two guys. Enjoyed the song.

    বাহ! দারুন! This song made me so emotional that I couldn't control myself and expressed my feelings in my mother tongue..... Really well done Mr. Paxton and of course Mr. Seeger. ☺
