Grasshopper Macclain - Jimmy Dean
Me and that navy ain't speakin'
At sailin' I tell you I'm through
On the advice of a doc
I got me a shock
I had to have somethin' to do
These nerves I got are from soakin' too long
When the ship got hit by a plane
And right here about four years back
I met grasshopper macclain
The sun was a burnin'
And the desert red hot
When his mother drove in with a flat
She went inside to cool off
With a beer and I saw
Her kid in the back
He lay on the seat in the
Swelterin' heat with hair the color of flame
A red headed mite but
Smilin' and bright was
Little ol' grasshopper McClain
I fixed her type and was totin' him
Round when she asked me
How much she owed
I just laughed and
Said boy I settle for him
And to my surprise
He drove off down the road
I figured she'd sober and
Come hurryin' back but for three long years
She never came
And all that time I was
Mother and dad to little
Ol' grasshopper McClain
I'd tell him of ships
I'd sailed on the seas
When I put him in bed at night
And that freckle faced kid
Was as sharp as a tack and
Quick as a mate for a fight
I thought I'd wait till he
Glowed a bit and let him
Pick out his own name
One day he came in with
A bug in his hand and
He said me grasshopper McClain
Oh he'd mimic my walk
And he'd mimic my talk
Like my shadow he just
Tagged me around
Even had to be checked every time
I was checked by the navy
Doc over the town
The dock's laugh and thump
His little ole chest and
Say feller you're right as rain
Then he'd turn to me and
Tell me that I'd be a new man
Thanks to grasshopper McClain
I guess you wonder why
I'm tellin' you this well
That's why I'm here doin' time
For a bang and a sheriff
And a red headed dame
That came to take what was mine
Oh but you should've seen
The way he fought you could
Tell that kid was navy trained
But this lonely cell wouldn't be
So much like hell if I only
Had grasshopper macclain
