Me n oliver n virgil was in the drugstore killing time
When my eyes fell upon this magazine
And I got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting
And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing
Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure
I knew that I could figure out a way
I said well delmer gills got a parachute and uncle harveys got an air-plane
So I said call the boys together, todays the day
Well I found out too late what uncle harvey called an air-plane
Was nothing but an engine and a wing
And I could feel my fear a-rising as delmer packed the parachute
cos he kept telling me I was doing the right thing
Ron mcloughlin shook my hand as jd strapped me in the harness
And tildon brought a jug and passed it around
I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that air-plane
And I turned that bottle up and drank it down
Well I was drunkern cooter jones when they poured me in the plane
The engine coughed and headed for the clouds
But I was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door
And Ive never known my heart to beat so loud
I said, harvey, I cant do it as he kicked me out the door
And I wrapped my hands around the landing gear
And I was holding on real good til harvey stepped down on my fingers
And virgil said he heard me scream from way down there
Well I thanked God and delmer gill when my parachute finally opened
I said well, hell there aint no use in being afraid
And I went crashing through the hen house, scattering chickens and breaking eggs
And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away
Now friends Ive done some fighting, and Ive been shot at once or twice
And Ive durn near been run over by a train
But I dont think I remember being any more afraid
Than the day I jumped from uncle harveys plane
