Jimmy Dean

Jimmy Ray Dean (August 10, 1928 – June 13, 2010) was an American country music singer, television host, actor and businessman. Although he may be best known today as the creator of the Jimmy Dean sausage brand, he became a national television personality starting in 1957, rising to fame for his 1961 country crossover hit "Big Bad John" and his television series, The Jimmy Dean Show, which also gave puppeteer Jim Henson his first national media exposure. His acting career included a supporting role as Willard Whyte in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. He lived near Richmond, Virginia, and was nominated for the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010, although he was formally inducted posthumously. more »

Well, my pretty baby just left me this mornin'   Said she didn't wanna see me no more   Told me not to call her on the telephone   And never come a-knockin' on her door   Well, I fumed and I fussed, and I might have cried a little   My head went a-spinnin' around   But with a little bit of luck, and my little black book   I'll have another'n before the sun goes down     What my baby didn't know was the same thing happened   Not once, but a half a dozen times   And she didn't realize that with a telephone call   I'd have another fickle chicken on the line   But every time I leave I do my best to play the part   Of the lovesick, heartbroke clown   But with a little bit of luck, and my little black book   I'll have another'n before the sun goes down     Now I haven't got a thing against a pretty little woman   Like her walk and her talk and her smile   I've been likin' pretty girls since I found they wasn't boys   And let me tell ya buddy, that's been quite a while   I like the huggin' and the squeezin' and the kissin' and the teasin'   But don't you let 'em push me around   'Cause with a little bit of luck, and my little black book   I'll have another'n before the sun goes down     Now that little girl's out a-tellin' everybody   How she made a big fool out of me   But while I'm out tonight a-rompin' and a-stompin'   She'll be watchin' Dr. Casey on TV   So girls, let me tell ya, better do a little thinkin'   'Fore you tell your lovin' man to leave town   'Cause with a little bit of luck, and a little black book   He'll get another'n before the sun goes down     'Cause with a little bit of luck, and a little black book   He'll get another'n before the sun goes down
