Five Summers For Jimmy - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]

She cleaned of the supper table and washed the dishes[00:00:16]

And went outside to catch the evening breeze[00:00:23]

The smell of sweet Magnolia still on the summernight[00:00:30]

And she hummed the song that set her mind at ease[00:00:37]

She closed her eyes and remembered another night like this[00:00:44]

It had been the sixteenth year of her life[00:00:52]

When the one she loved let sit[00:00:58]

With her on the poet's swing[00:01:01]

And told her he was going off to fight[00:01:05]

Five summers came in fail across her shoulders[00:01:26]

And the only news she heard was from her heart[00:01:33]

And all this time she kept on waiting[00:01:41]

Through the long hot summers[00:01:48]

And the cold nights of winter she waited[00:01:49]

And when about three weeks before[00:01:55]

That heard that the war was over[00:01:57]

And she still hadn't heard no news from him[00:02:02]

She never once let it 'cross her mind[00:02:09]

That he wouldn't be coming back to her[00:02:11]

And on this particular night[00:02:16]

That she sat there on the old poet's swing[00:02:17]

She suddenly got up[00:02:20]

And went around the south of the house[00:02:23]

And got some water out of the old rain barrel[00:02:25]

And she washed her hair[00:02:29]

And brushed it 'til it shined[00:02:30]

And went inside and put on her prettiest yellow dress[00:02:36]

And she waited by the window through the night[00:02:42]

The morning sun came shining through her restless dreams[00:02:50]

And she awoke to somebody whistling her favourit song[00:02:56]

And although he was walking slowly with a slight link[00:03:04]

She could tell that it was Jimmy and he was home[00:03:11]
