When I saw this post it reminded me of this Jimmy Dean Classic!

The Day I Jumped From Uncle Harvey's Plane
Recorded by Jimmy Dean

Me and Oliver and Virgil
Was down at the drugstore, killin' time
When my eye fell upon this magazine

And I got to readin' this article
About sky divin' and parachutes
And I said: jumpin' out-a airplanes - that's the thing

Now bein' raised out on the farm
And always ready for adventure,
I knew that I could figure out a way

Well, Uh! Delmer Gill's got a parachute
Uncle Harvey's got a plane
So I said: call the boys together, today's the day

Now I found out too late
That what Uncle Harvey called an airplane
Wasn't really nothin' but an engine and a wing

And I could feel my fear a-risin'
As Delmer packed up my parachute
But he kept on tellin' me oh, you're doin' the right thing

Ron McGlocklin shook my hand
And he strapped me in the harness
And Tilman brought a jug to pass around

Well I took one look at that parachute
And the whiskey and that airplane
And I turned that bottle up and drank it down

Oh, I was drunker'n Cooter Jones
When they poured me in the plane
And that old engine coughed and we headed for the clouds

Boy, I was sober as a judge When Harvey opened up that door
And I ain't never heard my heart beat quite so loud

I said: Harvey, I can't do it
But he kicked me out the door
But I wrapped my hands around the landin' gear

And I was holdin' on purty good
And Harvey stomped on my fingers
And Virgil said he heard me scream from way down there

I thanked God and Delmer Gill
When that parachute finally opened
And I said: well, hell! there ain't no use to be afraid

Then I went crashin' thru the henhouse
Scatterin' chickens and breakin' eggs
And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away

Now friends, I've fought some battles
I've been shot at once or twice
And I damned near got run over by a train

But in my whole born put-to-gethers
I ain't never been as scared
As the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's plane
