Take it from me, I was there, I saw it all.
This girl was trying to kill herself, I swear she was,
Marlene Brighten I think her name was.
She walked out in front of Tram right here in Main street.
But Jimmy Stirling comes along and risked life and limb to save her.
Without a thought for his own safety,
He dove in front of the Tram and pushed Marlene out of the way.
It was sight to see let me tell you.
But here’s the kicker. Marlene gets up and yells at the poor guy.
I’ve never heard anything like it,
She yelled and screamed at him until the cops had to break them up.
“Why did you do that, you bastard. I wanted to end it all.
Don’t you get it!” She said as she picked herself up and walked away.
“Hey kid, you’re a hero” said some guy in the crowd.
“I sure don’t feel like a hero” said Jimmy.
