Grasshopper MacClain - Jimmy Dean[00:00:00]

Me and that navy ain't speakin'[00:00:09]

At sailin' I tell you I'm through[00:00:11]

On the advice of a doc[00:00:16]

I got me a shock[00:00:17]

I had to have somethin' to do[00:00:19]

These nerves I got are from soakin' too long[00:00:24]

When the ship got hit by a plane[00:00:26]

And right here about four years back[00:00:32]

I met Grasshopper MacClain[00:00:35]

The sun was a burnin'[00:00:40]

And the desert red hot[00:00:41]

When his mother drove in with a flat[00:00:43]

She went inside to cool off[00:00:48]

With a beer and I saw[00:00:49]

Her kid in the back[00:00:51]

He lay on the seat in the[00:00:56]

Swelterin' heat with hair the color of flame[00:00:58]

A red headed mite but[00:01:04]

Smilin' and bright was[00:01:06]

Little ol' Grasshopper MacClain[00:01:07]

I fixed her tyre and was totin' him[00:01:10]

Round when she asked me[00:01:12]

How much she owed[00:01:13]

I just laughed and[00:01:16]

Said boy I settle for him[00:01:17]

And to my surprice s[00:01:20]

He drove off down the road[00:01:21]

I figured she'd sober and[00:01:24]

Come hurryin' back but for three long years[00:01:25]

She never came[00:01:29]

And all that time I was[00:01:32]

Mother and dad to little[00:01:33]

Ol' Grasshopper MacClain[00:01:35]

I'd tell him of ships[00:01:38]

I'd sailed on the seas[00:01:39]

When I put him in bed at night[00:01:40]

And that freckle faced kid[00:01:43]

Was as sharp as a tack and[00:01:44]

Quick as a mate for a fight[00:01:46]

I thought I'd wait till he[00:01:50]

Growed a bit and let him[00:01:51]

Pick out his own name[00:01:52]

One day he came in with[00:01:55]

A bug in his hand and[00:01:57]

He said me Grasshopper MacClain[00:01:58]

Oh he'd mimic my walk[00:02:02]

And he'd mimic my talk[00:02:04]

Like my shadow he just[00:02:06]

Tagged me around[00:02:07]

Even had to be checked every time[00:02:10]

I was checked by the navy[00:02:11]

Doc over the town[00:02:12]

The doc'd laugh and thump[00:02:16]

His little ole chest and[00:02:17]

Say feller you're right as rain[00:02:18]

Then he'd turn to me and[00:02:23]

Tell me that I'd be a new man[00:02:24]

Thanks to Grasshopper MacClain[00:02:26]

I guess you wonder why[00:02:30]

I'm tellin' you this well[00:02:31]

That's why I'm here doin' time[00:02:34]

For a bang and a sheriff[00:02:38]

And a red headed dame[00:02:39]

That came to take what was mine[00:02:40]

Oh but you should've seen[00:02:44]

The way he fought you could[00:02:45]

Tell that kid was navy trained[00:02:48]

But this lonely cell wouldn't be[00:02:53]

So much like hell if I only[00:02:56]

Had Grasshopper MacClain[00:03:01]
