Gino Vannelli - Poor Happy Jimmy (Tribute To Jim Croce) lyrics

(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 ....
