Shel Silverstein - Come After JinnyShel Silverstein - Come After Jinny
Work rating: Low


He`ll be comin` down the road at the break of day His head thrown back and his guns tied low He`s comin` after Jinny wants to take her away but I ain`t gonna let her go Oh he boasted in town but she loved him he said she`d be his with the sun He said anyone try to stop him would be just one more notch on his gun They say that he`s headstrong and handsome his hair`s blowin` wild and free And they got a hold I ain`t comin` cause he`s a lot younger than me And he`ll be comin` down the road... He hasn`t had much education he ain`t worked a day in his life He`s livin` with some older woman they say she`s another man`s wife But she wants him needs him and loves him she buys him his clothes and his meals When she finds he`s gone she`ll be prayin` and Lord I know just how she feels Because he`s comin` down the road... The sun`s at his back as he`s comin` the smile is cruel on his lip His right hand is slowly descendin` to the sixgun that rest on his hip Then his lower lip strated tremble and he started cryin` as he looked up at me And I picked him up I said son you`re only four years old And you know Jinny`s only three So come on in the house and have some cookies and milk And he did and the tears turned to smiles And I called up his mama I drove him home And Jinny`s safe at least for a little while
