around, no ferns, no telly blaring from the bar\r\nAnd once he tried the whiskey, Jimmy never strayed too far\r\n\r\nHe'd come in after dinner, for an hour maybe more\r\nHe'd play some cards and talk and joke, 'cause that's what a local's for\r\nBefore he'd leave most nights, because the bottles had to stay\r\nHe'd ask me for a whiskey, just to see him on his way\r\n\r\n\r\nThree days ago his mate come in, he said Jimmy took a fall\r\nFrom a roof that he was working on, he had no chance at all\r\nAnd today after the funeral, after burying young Jim\r\nThey came here to his second home, the mourners crowded in\r\n\r\nThen I did a thing I never thought I'd do 'til it was done\r\nI took a bottle from the shelf, I held it up for everyone\r\nRules are made for breaking, tonight the whisky leaves the bar\r\nAn auction for the family, who'll give me 50 pounds to start\r\n\r\n\r\nAt 500 pounds the bidding stopped, yeah you couldn't hear a sound\r\nBut for the roar as Jimmy's friends stepped up, and laid their pay packs down\r\nAnd I can't believe I did it, I never thought I'd see the day\r\nThat I'd hand someone the bottle, and then watch it walk away\r\n\r\nAs I was heading home tonight, I passed the graveyard by\r\nI sure that I heard singing, and silhouetted on the sky\r\nWere Jimmy's friends and they were pouring something on his grave\r\nA little offering for young Jim,
