Come Jimmy

by john clare

Come Jimmy it's time you see
The team is loaded for tonight
We travel down to Cedar Key.
Orville has the boys prepared
Missy can sit up here with me
Mamma will not mind
Come Jimmy, it's time.
When we get to Otter Creek Crossing
We can stretch our legs
Then down through Rosewood
And over those narrow bridges
To the old gym of native rock.
Come Jimmy, it's time you see
For tonight we play Cedar Key
They suit only seven to our ten
But never mind the odds
Those Shark's play as men
Never tiring in their pressing job.
Come Jimmy, it's time you see
It's a long way to Cedar Key
You can say a prayer for the boys
I know they need it bad
Devil's all full of lustful joys
I know you understand the lads.
Come Jimmy, it's time you see
The boy's defeated Cedar Key
Orville coached his cigar out
We played on a prayer and a shout
Gideon's Demon's tumbling rock walls!
Come Jimmy, hurry you see
They block the bridge from Cedar Key!
Have you seen Missy?
