The Refrain of John Dillon James
Alabama
Oh, John Dillon James was my good time country buddyWell, we hunted, talked and fished his last days awayHe was just a hired farm hand, worked old man Walker's landRetired on his 68th birthdayYeah, he wore a size sixteen shoe, had skin like alligatorLord, he could pick up a deer and walk right out of those woodsOld Dillon had a million tales but he sung me one refrainAnd I recall that song by John Dillon JamesOne July Monday morning I met him at the fishing holeBut old Dillon wasn't toting his half pint of tin hideHis roll your own tobacco string was a-hanging from his pocketHis eyes were red as beets, looked like he criedAnd I know he sat on knees cause his overalls were muddyBut my ten year old mind didn't understandHe sat down on the bank and wrote this four line refrainAnd I recall that song by John Dillon JamesWell, I got my ticket for the ride in the skyI've been talking to the man, I'm gonna flyPaid the price down on my kneesA voice from heaven promised meI got my ticket for the ride in the skyWell, it was one year to the day on a July Monday morningI waited at the fishing hole but old Dillon, he didn't showDaddy came down about noon, and saidSon, I've got some newsLord's rested old Dillon's soulYeah, and I walked up to his bedsideLooked down at old big DillonLord knows that I saw a pair of wingsThat tables set but I felt good, for at last I understoodThat refrain sung by John Dillon JamesWell, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky, Lord, y'allI've been talking to the man, I'm gonna fly (I'm gonna fly)I paid the price down on my kneesA voice from heaven promised meWell, I got my ticket for the ride in the skyYeah, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky
