| Lyrics |
| Jimmy came from Carolina
Wants to know a way to earn a dollar Says he's suffering with a fever Just like Sister Ray says I'm searching for my mainline I couldn't hit it sideways I'm searching for my mainline I couldn't hit it sideways Jimmy's got a new piece Lying cold for a quarter hour Took it out of his suitcase Shot him dead right on the floor Hey man, you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll stain the carpet Hey man, you shouldn't do that Just like Sister Ray says Too busy sucking on a ding dong Hey don't you know you'll stain the carpet Too busy sucking on my ding dong Hey you know you shouldn't do that I'm searching for my mainline I couldn't hit it sideways I'm searching for my mainline Going to count one, two, three, four Jimmy came from Carolina Wants to know a way to earn a dollar Says he didn't like the weather It's just like Sister Ray says Hit on it Jim - hit on it Jim -- Had a good night - had a good night -- Jimmy's got a new piece Cold hearted for the fingering Took it out in front of him Shot him dead right on the floor Hey man, you shouldn't do that Hey don't you know you'll stain the carpet Hey man, you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll stain the carpet It's just like Sister Ray said Just like Sister Ray said Had a good night - had a good night -- Had a good night - had a good night -- Just like Sister Ray said Just like Sister Ray said |
