(The Day I Jumped) From Uncle Harvey's Plane - Roger Miller[00:00:00]

Me 'n' Oliver 'n' Virgil was in the drugstore killing time[00:00:05]

When my eyes fell upon this magazine[00:00:10]

And I got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting[00:00:14]

And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing[00:00:18]

Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure[00:00:22]

I knew that I could figure out a way[00:00:27]

I said “Well Delmer Gill's got a parachute and Uncle Harvey's got an air-plane”[00:00:30]

So I said “Call the boys together today's the day”[00:00:35]

Well I found out too late what Uncle Harvey called an air-plane[00:00:41]

Was nothing but an engine and a wing[00:00:45]

And I could feel my fear a-rising as Delmer packed the parachute[00:00:49]

'Cos he kept telling me I was doing the right thing[00:00:53]

Ron McLoughlin shook my hand as JD strapped me in the harness[00:01:06]

And Tildon brought a jug and passed it around[00:01:10]

I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that air-plane[00:01:14]

And I turned that bottle up and drank it down[00:01:17]

Well I was drunker'n Cooter Jones when they poured me in the plane[00:01:22]

The engine coughed and headed for the clouds[00:01:26]

But I was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door[00:01:30]

And I've never known my heart to beat so loud[00:01:35]

I said “Harvey I can't do it” as he kicked me out the door[00:01:41]

And I wrapped my hands around the landing gear[00:01:45]

And I was holding on real good 'til Harvey stepped down on my fingers[00:01:49]

And Virgil said he heard me scream from way down there[00:01:53]

Well I thanked God and Delmer Gill when my parachute finally opened[00:01:57]

I said “Well hell there ain't no use in being afraid”[00:02:02]

And I went crashing through the hen house scattering chickens and breaking eggs[00:02:05]

And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away[00:02:09]

Now friends I've done some fighting and I've been shot at once or twice[00:02:14]

And I've durn near been run over by a train[00:02:18]

But I don't think I remember being any more afraid[00:02:22]

Than the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's plane[00:02:26]
