Lyrics

Peanut Jim the Peanut Man – E
-Moderate tempo
-intro w/ finger pick guitar

Peanut Jim was the peanut man
Sold Peanuts on a peanut stand
"Wanna bag of peanuts" Jim would shout
(lead in guitar for last line) as he drove his peanut stand about

he's on the road again, sure as you're born
On the road again, there he goes
Peanut Jim the Peanut Man
Drove a Cadillac peanut stand

Peanut Jim wore a black top hat
Ragged tux with tails in the back
Kept his peanut prices low
While he always kept his head held high, you know

-break for solo

Crosley Field, Over the Rhine
Suspension Bridge, Ohio side
Sold peanuts wherever he could
The whole Queen City never smelled so good

When the new Ballpark come to town
Peanut Jim got pushed around
We want peanut prices up
You sell too low so pack on up

-break for solo

Jim was old, run down and beat
But at 91 still on his feet
I'll sell my peanuts where I like
I'm the Peanut Man, you take the hike

Peanut Jim's now dead and gone
But the Peanut Man will long live on
Jim's out there somewhere, I know
With his head up high and his price down low

Chorus to out.
