James, James hold the ladder steady

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 thinge ladder steady

James, James Im packed tonight Im ready

James, James hold the ladder steady

Im acomin?down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

Id hate to see em in the morning when they both completely flip

Hell be sayin?they caint? shell be feeling faint

And Ill be kissing my husbands lips



So James, James hold the ladder steady

James, James Im packed tonight Im ready

James, James hold the ladder steady

Im acomin?down to your ar-ar-ar-rms

Im acomin?down to your arms.



FADE

James, James hold the ladder steady

James, James Im packed tonight Im ready

James, James hold the ladder steady
