James James Morrison Morrison Songtext
von The Chad Mitchell Trio

James James Morrison Morrison
Weatherby George Dupree
Took great care of his mother
Though he was only three

James James said to his mother
"Mother," he said, said he
"Don′t ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me
Don′t ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me."

Now, James James Morrison's mother
She put on her golden gown
And James James Morrison′s mother
She drove to the end of the town
James James Morrison′s mother
Said to herself, said she


"Well, I can get down to the end of the town
And be back in time for tea
Well, I can get down to the end of the town
And be back in time for tea."

King John put up a notice
"Lost, stolen or strayed"
James James Morrison's mother
She seems to have been mislaid
Wandering vaguely all about
Quite of her own accord

She tried to get down to the end of the town
Forty shillings reward
She tried to get down to the end of the town
Forty shillings reward

James James Morrison Morrison
Commonly known as Jim
Said to his other relations
Not to go blaming him


For James James said to his mother
"Mother," he said, said he
"Don′t ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me
You must never go down to the end of the town
If you don′t go down with me."

Now, James James Morrison's mother
She hasn′t been heard of since
King John said he was sorry
And so did the Queen and the Prince
King John, somebody told him
Said to a man he knew

"If people go down to the end of the town
Well, what can anyone do?
If people go down to the end of the town
Well, what can anyone do?"

J-J-M-M-W-Z Dupree
Took great care of his mm, though he was only three
Now, J-J said to his mm-mm, he said, said he
"Don't ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me
You must never go down to the end of the town
If you don′t go down with me
Don′t ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me."
