Brother Jim Got Shot Lyrics

Dock Boggs Brother Jim Got Shot

Me and my brother Jim went to a restaurant one night, Through some other parties we got into a fight.
Shot all the way through me, they killed my brother Jim, Hard luck, hard luck, they placed me on the spot.
Jury said it wasn't me, my brother Jim got shot.
Jury said it wasn't me, my brother Jim got shot.
Well, my wife had a mouth big enough for both.
She got frightened in her sleep one night, And a mouse ran down her throat.
Hard luck, hard luck, they placed me on the spot.
Jury said it wasn't me, my brother Jim got shot.
Got me a cat and a piece of cheese, And I placed it on her chin.
My wife got frightened in her sleep one night, Took rat, cat, cheese and all in.
