Jimmy Dean - GrassHopper Mac Clain Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Me and that navy ain't speakin' at sailin' I tell you I'm through
  • On the advice of a doc I got me a shock I had to have somethin' to do
  • These nerves I got are from soakin' too long when the ship got hit by a plane
  • And right here about four years back I met Grasshopper MacClain
  • The sun was a burnin' and the desert red hot when his mother drove in with a flat
  • She went inside to cool off with a beer and I saw her kid in the back
  • He lay on the seat in the swelterin' heat with hair the color of flame
  • A red headed mite but smilin' and bright was little ol' Grasshopper MacClain
  • I fixed her tyre and was totin' him round when she asked me how much she owed
  • I just laughed and said boy I settle for him
  • And to my surprice she drove off down the road
  • I figured she'd sober and come hurryin' back but for three long years she never came
  • And all that time I was mother and dad to little ol' Grasshopper MacClain
  • I'd tell him of ships I'd sailed on the seas when I put him in bed at night
  • And that freckle faced kid was as sharp as a tack and quick as a mate for a fight
  • I thought I'd wait till he growed a bit and let him pick out his own name
  • One day he came in with a bug in his hand and he said me Grasshopper MacClain
  • Oh he'd mimic my walk and he'd mimic my talk
  • Like my shadow he just tagged me around
  • Even had to be checked every time I was checked by the navy doc over the town
  • The doc'd laugh and thump his little ole chest and say feller you're right as rain
  • Then he'd turn to me and tell me that I'd be a new man
  • Thanks to Grasshopper MacClain
  • I guess you wonder why I'm tellin' you this well that's why I'm here doin' time
  • For a bang and a sheriff and a red headed dame that came to take what was mine
  • Oh but you should've seen the way he fought you could tell that kid was navy trained
  • But this lonely cell wouldn't be so much like hell if I only had Grasshopper MacClain
