Strawbs - Poor Jimmy Wilson lyrics

rate me

Jimmy Wilson had a glass eye, I could see it<br />

And he stuttered sometimes<br />

And he needed a girl friend night times<br />

Didn't know how to go about it<br />

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.<br />

<br />

All the boys used to tease him, I know I did it<br />

And he was my friend<br />

At school we were always close together<br />

Hardly a day I didn't see him<br />

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.<br />

<br />

He used to go out for walks on his own<br />

With no-one to talk to at all<br />

He'd walk in the park till the evening grew dark<br />

Just feeling quite incredibly small.<br />

<br />

He was sitting in the park one Sunday evening<br />

Around about five<br />

When along came a lady, a total stranger<br />

Wanted young Jimmy to go with her<br />

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.<br />

<br />

Well she was so persuasive and seemed quite friendly<br />

So he went along<br />

And the lady who was lonely gave him tea<br />

And she was his friend for ever after<br />

Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.
