Poor Happy Jimmy (Tribute to Jim Croce)

Give him a soft guitar
To play what he choose
He ain't 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 you cried and cried
On the day he died
Poor happy Jimmy

Give him sweet melodies
He'll sing with all he has
Got a funky paraphrase
It sounds 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-oo-ed on the day he flew
Poor happy Jimmy

I wonder why-y-y
That I can't forget
All the things you said
That you lied sometimes
You set a spell inside

Oh James your soft guitar
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 pray for you every day and day
Oh happy Jimmy
Oh-oh-oh-oooo happy Jimmy
