[00:00:00] (The Day I Jumped) From Uncle Harvey's Plane - Roger Miller

[00:00:05] Me 'n' Oliver 'n' Virgil was in the drugstore killing time

[00:00:10] When my eyes fell upon this magazine

[00:00:14] And I got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting

[00:00:18] And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing

[00:00:22] Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure

[00:00:27] I knew that I could figure out a way

[00:00:30] I said “Well Delmer Gill's got a parachute and Uncle Harvey's got an air-plane”

[00:00:35] So I said “Call the boys together today's the day”

[00:00:41] Well I found out too late what Uncle Harvey called an air-plane

[00:00:45] Was nothing but an engine and a wing

[00:00:49] And I could feel my fear a-rising as Delmer packed the parachute

[00:00:53] 'Cos he kept telling me I was doing the right thing

[00:01:06] Ron McLoughlin shook my hand as JD strapped me in the harness

[00:01:10] And Tildon brought a jug and passed it around

[00:01:14] I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that air-plane

[00:01:17] And I turned that bottle up and drank it down

[00:01:22] Well I was drunker'n Cooter Jones when they poured me in the plane

[00:01:26] The engine coughed and headed for the clouds

[00:01:30] But I was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door

[00:01:35] And I've never known my heart to beat so loud

[00:01:41] I said “Harvey I can't do it” as he kicked me out the door

[00:01:45] And I wrapped my hands around the landing gear

[00:01:49] And I was holding on real good 'til Harvey stepped down on my fingers

[00:01:53] And Virgil said he heard me scream from way down there

[00:01:57] Well I thanked God and Delmer Gill when my parachute finally opened

[00:02:02] I said “Well hell there ain't no use in being afraid”

[00:02:05] And I went crashing through the hen house scattering chickens and breaking eggs

[00:02:09] And I kissed the ground and fainted dead away

[00:02:14] Now friends I've done some fighting and I've been shot at once or twice

[00:02:18] And I've durn near been run over by a train

[00:02:22] But I don't think I remember being any more afraid

[00:02:26] Than the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's plane
