There's a funny little man in my hometown
|
His age is ninety three
|
He's a cute little man with a funny little grin
|
You'll love him, yes siree.
|
|
He'll tell you tales of Buffalo Bill
|
And things that they have done
|
This funny little man in my hometown
|
Is loved by everyone.
|
|
Jimbo Jenkins is his name
|
You'll find him in the Hall of Fame
|
The Hall of Fame's his favorite chair
|
Sittin' on the Courthouse square.
|
|
Children gather all around
|
From miles and miles they come
|
To listen to this fine little man
|
Who's loved by everyone.
|
|
He'll tell you tales of Custer
|
And the battles they have won
|
And he can prove the story's true
|
By the nothes on his gun.
|
|
Little cowboys injuns too
|
Think he's the grandest thing
|
They way he tells his stories
|
You can hear the bullets zing.

|
|
Jesse James and Robin Hood
|
Ain't got a thing on him
|
'Cause he did more in three weeks time
|
Than either one of them.

|
Someday I know there'll be a statue
|
On the Courthouse square
|
There will be old Jimbo Jenkins
|
In his favorite chair.
|
|
He'll go down in history
|
That is plain to see
|
For all his tales of yesterday
|
So famous he will be.
