Give in to some guitar, to play what you choose
You ain't got no fancy cars, only God's blues
Oh, 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 round
Cause I cried and cried all day and night
Oh, happy Jimmy
Give him sweet melodies, he'll sing with all he has
You got a funky paraphrase, it sounds like good time jazz
Oh, 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 bought on the day he flew
Oh, happy Jimmy
I wonder why
That I can't forget all the things you said
About your life from times you said I spent inside
I won't change a song guitar, it'd 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 pray and pray for you every day
Oh, happy Jimmy
Oh, happy Jimmy
Oh, happy Jimmy
Oh, happy Jimmy
