Song: Jimmy The Broom (Album Version) - Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson
Jimmy the Broom had the old shabby room next to mine
Every casino in the whole town of Reno knew Jimmy the Broom was on wine
With no last name at all his old friends were left to assume
That he meant to be buried with the nickname of Jimmy the Broom
He came to the city to forget a woman they say
Not even the havoc of the nightlife of Reno could keep her memory away
So he turned to the bottle and somehow it deafened her call
Ah, but Jimmy the Broom never lived to be free of it all
Jimmy the Broom left the sidewalks swept clean out in Reno
And every casino knew Jimmy the Broom
With no last name at all his old friends were left to assume
That he meant to be buried with the nickname of Jimmy the Broom
Jimmy the Broom left the sidewalks swept clean out in Reno
And every casino knew Jimmy the Broom
With no last name at all his old friends were left to assume
That he meant to be buried with the nickname of Jimmy the Broom
