JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER (Gary Brewer)
(male version)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: FIRST THING EVERY MORNING ON THE RADIO
IT'S BILL MONROE FOR BREAKFAST AND THEN OFF TO WORK I GO
BLUEGRASS PLAYS ALL THRU THE DAYS OF SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER AND EVERY NIGHT WE HAVE THEM JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER

CHORUS: MR. JIMMY MARTIN IS THE KING
HE KEEPS OUR HOME TOGETHER WITH
THE WAY HE PICKS AND SINGS
EVEN MY OLD HUNTIN' DOG
HAS GOT SOME BEAGLE IN HER
SHE SINGS ALONG WHEN WE HAVE
JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER

VERSE 2: I TELL MY SWEET DARLIN' SHE'S MY QUEEN
I SAY I WANT HER FOR HERSELF AND NOT HER TURNIP GREENS
NOW, SHE CAN'T SKIN A RABBIT BUT I STILL THINK SHE'S A WINNER
BECAUSE SHE LOVES TO HEAR THEM JIMMY MARTIN SONGS FOR DINNER

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: MISTER JIMMY IS THE KING, NO DOUBT
AND I CAN HOLLER LIKE HIM WHEN I TURN THE COON DOGS OUT
WHEN I GET SECOND HELPINGS OF THEM WIDOW MAKER BEANS
I KNOW THAT I'LL BE HEARING JIMMY MARTIN IN MY DREAMS

REPEAT CHORUS
