GINO VANNELLI

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
