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 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
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

Tom Paxton Jones Boy Comments
Perfection, for sure!
Thank you for their video! 若き日のお二人の歌声と映像を見ることが出来て、とても嬉しいです。
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_
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. ☺
This is beautiful
Great Song of a friend in life gone.
This & He was a Friend of Mine fit well
Wonderful! Thanks for uploading this.
Classic song and singers. Tom is still with us, and Pete has left the building.
🌈☀🎼 roll on 😊
