(Tribute To Jim Croce)
|
|
Give him a soft guitar to play what he choose
|
He ain't got no fancy chords
|
Only got his blues
|
Poor happy Jimmy
|
|
I didn't know him very well but he was with me
|
And I won't take a dime just to make it rhyme
|
Cause I cried and cried the day he died
|
Poor happy Jimmy
|
|
Give him sweet melodies he sing with all he has
|
He got a funky paraphrase
|
It sound like good time jazz
|
Poor happy Jimmy
|
|
I didn't know him very well but he was with me
|
And I won't put the blame on the aeroplane
|
But I boo-hoo'd on the day he flew
|
Poor happy Jimmy
|
|
I wonder why
|
That I can't forget all the things you said about your life and times
|
You set a spell inside
|
Oh James your soft guitar it make me feel to cry
|
The sole consolation is
|
A good man never dies
|
God bless you Jimmy
|
|
I love you with all my heart so deep within me
|
And you won't see the end of your lonely friend
|
Cause I'll pray and pray for you every day
|
Poor happy Jimmy
|
Poor happy Jimmy ....
