This Old Bomb Of Mine - Jim Flaherty

This Old Bomb Of Mine

Jim Flaherty's Caravan

(Stange - Flaherty - Demaria, JENN 101)

Well, my ma was nervous and distraught
My pa he told me that I got caught
My mind was a blank the day I bought
This old bomb of mine
My buddies tell me that it's all right
Except I'm a-sittin' on dynamite
Well, there ain't a doggone thing that's tight on
This old bomb of mine

Well, a cloud of smoke and a great big roar
Everytime I push her down to the floor
Well, she shivers and she shakes just a little more
This old bomb of mine
Well, you think she's carrying a ten ton load
The way she drags along the road
Like any third time she might explode
This old bomb of mine

She's an animated hunk of junk
With banged up fenders and distorted trunk
Just one great big clunkety-clunk
This old bomb of mine
Well, I can't say that I blame you none
And you won't be the only one
Who laughed at me an hoked some fun at
This old bomb of mine

Well, someday when my goal is met
My car will be the finest yet
And all that I will never forget
This old bomb of mine
This old bomb, this old bomb
This old bomb, this old bomb
[Fade]
