Poor Happy Jimmy (Tribute to Jim Croce) Lyrics

Give him a soft guitar to play what he choose
He ain't got no fancy chords
Only got his blues
Poor, happy JimmyI 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 JimmyGive him sweet melodies, he sing with all he has
He got a funky paraphrase
It sound like good time jazz
Poor, happy JimmyI 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 JimmyI wonder why
That I can't forget all the things you said
About your life and times
You set a spell insideOh, James your soft guitar, it make me feel to cry
The sole consolation is
A good man never dies

God bless you JimmyI 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 JimmyPoor, happy Jimmy
Poor, happy Jimmy
Poor, happy Jimmy
Poor, happy Jimmy
