Except for his most popular songs, JT’s lyrics don’t seem to be easily findable anywhere (his own sites don’t offer such detail; JT is now retired, so someone else must maintain them). I can recall only portions of this one: [?Jim], the undertaker, he’s something of a Quaker, but he’s a friend; yes, he’s a friend. [2 lines I forget] He’s the kind of man you can rely on [forgotten line] He’s got this coat of elm he keeps asking me to try on He’s my friend, yes, he’s my friend, my friend, He’s my friend, yes, he’s my friend. Another verse begins: [forgotten name] the vicar’s got a new line in car-stickers sayin’ Jesus Christ is my friend. Thanks for any help.
