The Ballad of Jim Naclicky
ballad folk acousticLyrics
[Verse]
Jim Naclicky roamed the fields
Through the evening haze
With calloused hands
An honest man
He'd work through summer days
Sweat upon his brow
He'd toil without a grand plan
Just a man named Jim
A true
Simple
Working man
[Verse]
Sunrise greeted him
A rooster's call his faithful clock
No riches for old Jim
But peace beneath that worn-out smock
No promises for gold
But steady was his stride
For an honest heart
Jim walked the steady side
[Chorus]
Oh
Jim Naclicky
Doin' the best he can
No fame or fortune
Just a wandering
Humble man
With every step
He showed the strength within
In fields so wide
Jim's legacy begins
[Verse]
Through the town
He'd pass with a nod and a kind word
Folks would say
"If you need a hand
Jim's the one preferred
"
He'd lend his strength without a fare
And ask for nothin' in return
Living life through simple means
From praises he would yearn
[Verse]
Seasons changed
And time did paint lines upon his face
Yet Jim remained the same
Content with a steady pace
He found solace in the small things
A simple
Honest life
No regret
No sorrow
Far from any strife
[Chorus]
Oh
Jim Naclicky
Doin' the best he can
No fame or fortune
Just a wandering
Humble man
With every step
He showed the strength within
In fields so wide
Jim's legacy begins
