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.
