Poor Happy Jimmy (Tribute To Jim Croce) Gino Vannelli

(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
