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 arms
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 arms
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 arms
I`m a`comin` down to your arms.
James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I`m packed tonight I`m ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
