Uncle Jim Lyrics – Jay Leonhart
Singer: Jay Leonhart
Title: Uncle Jim
I’ve been thinking ’bout my dear old Uncle Jim
A man who led a sad and lonely life
He drank too much and he never finished much of what he started
Divorced his only wife
He was my father’s only brother, don’t you know my mother
She never cared for Jim
‘Cause he drank too much, divorced his wife
He never went to church once his whole life
They did not want us growing up like him
But to speak in his behalf, the man could joke, the man laugh
And he brought joy into my lifе
What did I care if he drank too much and nevеr finished nothin’
Divorced his only wife
He and my father, see, they shared their similarities
But in most ways they was like day and night
My father was industrious, he earned hisself a fortune
Jim just liked to drink and write
When Jim was young he went to working on the local papers
Reporting on the hot news of his day
But then somewhere along the line
Quit his job, he changed his mind
And why, he’d never say
He went to work teachin’ English at the local high school
Sellin’ life insurance on the side
He ended up sellin’ life insurance to his friends
He was the only one who had none when he died, when he died
Once I went and lost the only thing besides his Mason’s ring
That ever gave him any pride
I went and lost the gun that he brought home from World War One
I told him one night he got drunk and cried
When he got drunk he used to introduce me to his goldfish
Said he knew each and every one by name
He drank too much but after his wife left him and his daughter took her life
Why, he just weren’t the same
Cancer finally got the man, he spent his final days
Shootin’ morphine, drinking booze
And in the weeks before he died there was my Momma at his side
She say, “Drink up Jim, what you got to lose?”
Which is leading me to say that I been thinking more these days
About my dear departed Uncle Jim
He drank too much, he never finished much of what he started
And they named me after him
Yeah, they named me after him
I’m proud to say they named me after him

Uncle Jim – Terjemahan / Translation
Saya telah berpikir ‘tentang paman tua saya Jim
Seorang pria yang menjalani kehidupan yang sedih dan kesepian
Dia minum terlalu banyak dan dia tidak pernah menyelesaikan banyak hal yang dia mulai
Menceraikan satu -satunya istrinya
Dia adalah satu -satunya saudara lelaki ayahku, tidakkah kamu tahu ibuku
Dia tidak pernah merawat Jim
Karena dia minum terlalu banyak, menceraikan istrinya
Dia tidak pernah pergi ke gereja begitu sepanjang hidupnya
Mereka tidak ingin kita tumbuh seperti dia
Tetapi untuk berbicara atas namanya, pria itu bisa bercanda, pria itu tertawa
Dan dia membawa sukacita ke dalam hidupku
Apa yang saya pedulikan jika dia minum terlalu banyak dan tidak ada yang selesai tidak ada
Menceraikan satu -satunya istrinya
Dia dan ayahku, lihat, mereka berbagi kesamaan
Tapi dalam banyak hal mereka seperti siang dan malam
Ayah saya rajin, dia mendapatkan banyak uang
Jim hanya suka minum dan menulis
Saat Jim masih muda, dia pergi untuk mengerjakan surat kabar lokal
Melaporkan berita panas hari -harinya
Tapi di suatu tempat di sepanjang garis
Berhenti dari pekerjaannya, dia berubah pikiran
Dan mengapa, dia tidak akan pernah mengatakannya
Dia pergi bekerja mengajar bahasa Inggris di sekolah menengah setempat
Menjual asuransi jiwa di samping
Dia akhirnya menjual asuransi jiwa untuk teman -temannya
Dia adalah satu -satunya yang tidak punya saat dia meninggal, ketika dia meninggal
Begitu saya pergi dan kehilangan satu -satunya hal selain cincin Masonnya
Itu pernah memberinya kebanggaan
Saya pergi dan kehilangan pistol yang dia bawa pulang dari Perang Dunia Pertama
Saya mengatakan kepadanya suatu malam dia mabuk dan menangis
Ketika dia mabuk, dia biasa memperkenalkan saya pada ikan masnya
Bilang dia tahu masing -masing dengan nama
Dia minum terlalu banyak tetapi setelah istrinya meninggalkannya dan putrinya mengambil nyawanya
Kenapa, dia tidak sama
Kanker akhirnya mendapatkan pria itu, dia menghabiskan hari -hari terakhirnya
Menembak morfin, minum minuman keras
Dan dalam minggu -minggu sebelum dia meninggal, ada ibuku di sisinya
Dia berkata, “Minumlah Jim, apa yang harus kamu rugi?”
Yang membuat saya mengatakan bahwa saya lebih berpikir hari ini
Tentang pamanku yang tersayang
Dia minum terlalu banyak, dia tidak pernah menyelesaikan banyak dari apa yang dia mulai
Dan mereka menamaiku mengejarnya
Ya, mereka menamaiku mengejarnya
Saya bangga mengatakan mereka menamaiku mengejarnya
