Marty Robbins Twenty Dollar Jim

An unreleased gem from Marty which was first released on the 'Lost And Found' album which was released in 1994. Marty never lost his knack for writing songs of the highest quality all throughout his career.
I believe the fiddle player is Buddy Spicher although I could be wrong.

Jim is the name of the person in the song. Marty had a liking for the name 'Jim' or 'Jimmy' as in his songs 'Jimmy Martinez', 'Jimmy And Me' and the lyric in 'The Cowboy In TheContinental Suit' which goes 'I turned around to look at Jim and he was watching me.'

Hey Tarquin45 thanks for the post, great song! Ya'll have any idea where I might be able to find the lyrics and or chords for it?

Thanks again for the post

Wow! just like hearing an obscure Hank tune after decades of loving all the hits, I am even more impressed. One, the "lesser" tune actually goes toe to toe with the great classics. Secondly, back in the day, they "threw back" songs that were higher quality than at least 95 percent of "modern country" ! You tube is amazing, great art is only a few clicks away.

If you listen to Marty's "The City" the music is the same but the words are different. It still good though, thanks for the posting tarquin45.
