Roger Miller - The Day I Jumped From Uncle Harvey`s Plane слова песни


Me Ў®n` Oliver Ў®n` Virgil was in the drugstore killing time
When my eyes fell upon this magazine
And I got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting
And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing

Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure
I knew that I could figure out a way
I said Ў°Well Delmer Gill`s got a parachute and Uncle Harvey`s
got an air-planeЎ±
So I said Ў°Call the boys together, today`s the dayЎ±

Well I found out too late what Uncle Harvey called an air-plane
Was nothing but an engine and a wing
And I could feel my fear a-rising as Delmer packed the parachute
Ў®Cos he kept telling me I was doing the right thing

Ron McLoughlin shook my hand as JD strapped me in the harness
And Tildon brought a jug and passed it around
I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that air-plane
And I turned that bottle up and drank it down

Well I was drunker`n Cooter Jones when they poured me in the plane
The engine coughed and headed for the clouds
But I was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door
And I`ve never known my heart to beat so loud

I said, Ў°Harvey, I can`t do itЎ± as he kicked me out the door
And I wrapped my hands around the landing gear
And I was holding on real good Ў®til Harvey stepped down on my fingers
And Virgil said he heard me scream from way down there

Well I thanked God and Delmer Gill when my parachute finally opened
I said Ў°Well, hell there ain`t no use in being afraidЎ±
And I went crashing through the hen house, scattering chickens
and breaking eggs
And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away

Now friends I`ve done some fighting, and I`ve been shot at once or twice
And I`ve durn near been run over by a train
But I don`t think I remember being any more afraid
Than the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey`s plane
