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
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
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)

Tom T. Hall Me And Jimmie Rodgers Comments
jimmy was my dads favourite,i bought an album when he died and played it at the reception,apart from that,this is a great song,sounds like toms heroes,most of them were mine also,its a great song,like all of toms never a better songwriter/singer in all the world
Shel Silverstein wrote it, and Tom changed some of the lyrics.
Shel: Come high noon I'll walk with you, I may be young but I know how to use a gun.
And Shel's sparring partner was Tony Zale, not Sugar Ray.
come high noon, I'll walk with you, I've had a few, but i know how to use a gun
this song is good enough to have been written by Tom T Hall I know it wasnt but...............

This is one of my favorite songs. It's a shame that ten years from now there wont be any of the "greatest generation" left who would really remember the people Tom T is singing about. We have forgotten Audie Murphy and all the others. It's a shame that most graduating seniors from high school don't even know that WW2 was the biggest event of the 20th century. I was born during that war and I grew up with everything shown in this video. We were a solid country back then. It;s just too bad that we cannot take the time to remember any more
My beloved late hubby's favourite song!!!
GREAT VIDIO.
I agree that Tom T. is an AMAZING songwriter, however I don't think that Mr. Hall wrote this particular song, I think Shel Silverstein did.
Yes you are right. Shel Silverstein is the lyricist who wrote this and many other amazing songs.
Great Tom T Hall song...and a really great video clip .well done..two thumbs up
A brilliant song though I prefer Bobby Bare's version - thanks for the video, that was great - full marks to the person who took the time to create it!
By the way - the song came from the pen of the genius songwriter Shel Silverstein!

great video ..to a great song matches perfect..
