Biography:
Tom Paxton (born Thomas Richard Paxton on October 31, 1937) is an American singer and writer of folk music whose songs have had enduring appeal (and include modern standards such as "The Last Thing on My Mind") known for a cynical, often political edge. In 2009, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Paxton was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest child of Burton and Esther Paxton. The Paxton family moved to Bristow, Oklahoma in 1948, where Tom grew to adulthood and which he still considers home.

Jimmy Newman - Tom Paxton
E A E
Get up Jimmy Newman the morning is come
F E
The engine's are rumbling the coffee's all brewed
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman there's work to be done
F B
And why do you lie there still sleeping
E A
There's a waiting line forming to use the latrine
E B
And the sun is just opening the sky
E A E
The breakfast they're serving just has to be seen
F E
And you've only to open your eyes
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman my radio's on
F E
The news is all bad but it's good for a laugh
A E
The tent flap is loose and the peg must be gone
F B
Why do you lie there still sleeping
E A
The night nurse is gone and the sexy one's here
E B
And she tells us such beautiful lies
E A E
Her uniform's tight on her marvellous rear
F E
And you've only to open your eyes
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman you're missing the fun
F E
We're loading the plane Jim it's time to go home
A E
It's over for us there's no more to be done
F B
And why do you lie there still sleeping
E A
It's stateside for us Jim the folks may not know
E B
We'll let it be such a surprise
E A E
They're loading us next Jim we're ready to go
F E
And you've only to open your eyes
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman they won't take my word
F E
I said you sleep hard but they're shaking their heads
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman and show them you heard
F B
Jimmy just show them you're sleeping
E A
A joke is a joke but there's nothing to gain
E B
Jim I'd slap you but I'm too weak to rise
E A E
Get up damn it Jimmy you're missing the plane
F
And you've only to open your eyes
