Lyric Poor Happy Jimmy

(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 ....
