Lyrics for 'The Day I Jumped From Uncle Harveys Plane' by 'Roger Miller'
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 Gill's Got A Parachute And Uncle Harvey's Got An Air-plane¡±
So I Said ¡°call The Boys Together, Today's 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 Drunker'n 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 I've Never Known My Heart To Beat So Loud
I Said, ¡°harvey, I Can't 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 Ain't 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 I've Done Some Fighting, And I've Been Shot At Once Or Twice
And I've Durn Near Been Run Over By A Train
But I Don't Think I Remember Being Any More Afraid
Than The Day I Jumped From Uncle Harvey's Plane
