Tekst piosenki

They're putting up a building down on Main Street

Paid for with all those truckers' dues

But the man who laid the first stone on the corner

Had the Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues


Now some say Jimmy's down in Argentina

Others tell you that he simply changed his name

And a surgeon made him look a bit like Nixon

But aside from that he's still pretty much the same


Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy?

That's a question I know we all would love to know

Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy?

He's gone to where those good ol' boys all go


Now the gang that runs the union said to Jimmy

Here's what we're all prepared to do

We're gonna build the Boys a brand new union building

And we want you to dedicate it, too


But I heard a rumor down at the dedication

From the kinda guy who has a nose for news

He said Jimmy died of terminal cement poisoning

And the Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues


They said, Here's a thing you men can all be proud of

They laid a horseshoe wreath upon the cornerstone

They said, Here's to freight and the Great American Freeway

And the man who helped us make it all our own


Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy?

That's a question I know we all would love to know

Where's Jimmy? Where's Jimmy?

He's gone to where those good ol' boys all go
