Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk
James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
Now James and I we went to mama and showed her my diamond ring
She said `my poor little baby, you must be crazy, to think of such a
thing`
So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
Now James and I we went to daddy and said that we want to be wed
Daddy said `nope, you`ll just have to elope` and laughed as he went to
bed
But James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
I`d hate to see `em in the morning when they both completely flip
He`ll be sayin` `they cain`t`, she`ll be feeling faint
And I`ll be kissing my husband`s lips
So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I`m a`comin` down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
FADE
James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
