Lyrics
(Chorus) Ain't nobody gonna sing sweeter than James. I bought a phonograph and I went me through the names. He can play a guitar just like a little boy playin' games. Ain't nobody gonna sing sweeter than James. Sweeter than James - on a box guitar - Sweeter than James - no one will ever get that far. (1st Verse) I was about twelve or thirteen when he caught my ear. He was just a young man, but the best I'd ever hear. When I heard his music come across the radio - It didn't take me twenty bars or forty words to know. (Chorus) (2nd Verse) And now it's been ten years and I'm strummin' along. Sometimes it seems that he helped me write my songs. Maybe in my life I'll get a chance to shake his hand. Cause anyone who likes to sing would like to meet the man. (Chorus)
