James, James, hold the ladder steady
James, James, I'm packed and I am 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 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 and I am 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, Dad, we wanna be with
Dad said, no, you'll just have to reload
And laughed as he went to bed
But James, James, hold the ladder steady
James, James, I'm packed and I am 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 them in the morning when
They both completely flip
He'll be sayin' they can't
She'll be feelin' faint
And I'll be kissin' my husband's lips
So James, James, hold the ladder steady
James, James, I'm packed and I am 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 and I am ready
James, James, hold the ladder steady
