Big Jimmy And Felicidad lyrics

Big Jimmy and Felicidad
Words and Music: Graeme Connors
The local gossips had a field day when Big Jimmy came 
home
After three weeks in South East Asia he didn�t come 
back alone
And his mates at the terminal gates couldn�t believe 
their eyes
When he walked off the plane hand in hand with his 
young Filipino bride - now
Big Jimmy was a wild one unpredictable as lightning
Drinking and fighting was all he ever had
So you can well imagine what everybody was sayin�
Ah the odds were against them Big Jimmy and Felicidad
They set up house in a caravan down on Silica St.
She put in a little garden she got the place looking 
neat
And he was out of the dozer soon as the whistle blew
Headed for home his work mates crowing �hey she sure 
put a spell on you� - cause
Big Jimmy was a wild one unpredictable as lightning
Drinking and fighting yeah he was one of the lads
But isn�t it amazing how a woman will change things
Just like it happened with Big Jimmy and Felicidad
Instrumental....
Felicidad took a holiday a year or so down the track
Called Big Jimmy from Manila to say she wasn�t coming 
back
Said she loved him but she couldn�t fit in she�d 
learned the language but she had no friends
Big Jimmy went berserk brought his dozer home from work 
and completely wrecked the
caravan
Big Jimmy was a wild one unpredictable as lightning
Drinking and fighting was all he ever had
And last I heard he�s in the Top End out there 
somewhere in his D10
They didn�t get the happy ending Big Jimmy and 
Felicidad
