The angels have taken you, Jimmie
To God and his wisdom and love
For they needed another sweet singer
To blossom in Heaven above
There are millions who’ll miss you, friend Jimmy
Miss your soft voice that made millions happy
May God, in his mercy, grant your friends their one prayer
That they’ll meet you, Jimmie, up there
I know you’ll be yodeling in Heaven
In that Angelic choir way up there
In that Land where there’s peace and therе’s comfort
Where shall be free from carе
And as vespers in Heaven start ringing
Surely Angels will pause while you’re singing
May God, in his mercy, grant your friends their one prayer
That they’ll meet you, Jimmie, up there
I wonder if you hear me Jimmie
Way up in that heavenly blue?
There’re no words can express to you, Jimmie
Just how much I’ve thought of you
You’ve inspired me, pal, like no other
And I’ve loved you just like a brother
Oh, I that I’ve lost a true friend and real pal
And I miss you Jimmie, old pal
To God and his wisdom and love
For they needed another sweet singer
To blossom in Heaven above
There are millions who’ll miss you, friend Jimmy
Miss your soft voice that made millions happy
May God, in his mercy, grant your friends their one prayer
That they’ll meet you, Jimmie, up there
I know you’ll be yodeling in Heaven
In that Angelic choir way up there
In that Land where there’s peace and therе’s comfort
Where shall be free from carе
And as vespers in Heaven start ringing
Surely Angels will pause while you’re singing
May God, in his mercy, grant your friends their one prayer
That they’ll meet you, Jimmie, up there
I wonder if you hear me Jimmie
Way up in that heavenly blue?
There’re no words can express to you, Jimmie
Just how much I’ve thought of you
You’ve inspired me, pal, like no other
And I’ve loved you just like a brother
Oh, I that I’ve lost a true friend and real pal
And I miss you Jimmie, old pal
