(tribute to jim croce)

Give him a soft guitar to play what he choose

He aint got no fancy chords
Only got his blues
Poor happy jimmy


I didnt know him very well but he was with me
And I wont 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 didnt know him very well but he was with me

And I wont put the blame on the aeroplane

But I boo-hood on the day he flew

Poor happy jimmy

I wonder why

That I cant 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 wont see the end of your lonely friend

Cause Ill pray and pray for you every day
Poor happy jimmy
Poor happy jimmy ....
