The Jones Boy

[Father Bill]

THE JONES BOY The Mills Bros. - 1954

The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy The Jones Boy The Jones Boy
The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy
He acts mighty peculiar now

The whole town's saying he was a good boy a nice boy a swell boy
The whole town's saying he's not a well boy
He just isn't the same somehow

he hops he jumps so merrily over the water pumps
he stops and then he comes to a pump and he'll jump again
the buzz is over the fences that he's going out of his senses

The whole town's talking about the Jones boy the poor boy the Jones boy
But I just happen to be the Jones boy and I happen to be in love

[Andy Ternay]

With the reference to the Jonesing, I thought you were waiting on a kilt delivery Father! Or is this your subtle way of telling us you are in love with a kilt that has yet to appear on your doorstep?

[Jack Daw]

I love the Mills Bros. I have a CD of their hits.

Maple Leaf Tartan - PV from MacHummel at Canadian Casual Kilts. I'd decided on Maple Leaf even before the government's announcement, so I dropped in on Pete and had a look at one he'd made up previously. The quality is great, the price is exceptional, and Peter is good company . . . .

So-o-o-o-o, I made a deposit and he's working on the kilt, I'm working on saving the last few $$, and I'm in love with the kilt.

And yes, I love the Mills Brothers too. Believe it or not, I have a 78 rpm with that down the basement.
