Faron Young - Gentleman jim Lyrics

Adios Amigo Gentleman Jim
The sun settin' slowly beyond the last hill
And the chorus sing softly to a world waiting still
Of hearts weak and sadder and lights growing dim
Adios Amigo Gentleman Jim.

When he lift up his head and then began to sing
Was like carols at Christmas or birds in the spring
Such joy and such sunshine reflected in him
Adios Amigo Gentleman Jim.

Then God went out walking one day heard him singing
With sadness and want to inspire
Said Jim listen to me one favour please do me
Come sing in my heavenly choir.

Now the long day is over and the good race is run
And the world smiles much brighter for things Jim has done
A place in God's chorus they made for him our amigo Gentleman Jim
Adios Amigo Gentleman Jim...
