Reeves jim adios amigo gentleman jim lyrics

The sun's setting slowly, beyond the last hill 

 As a chorus sings softly to a world waiting still 

 Of hearts weak and saddened and lives growing dim 

 Adios amigo, Gentleman Jim 

  

 Whet he lifted 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, while 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 the things Jim has done 

 A place in God's chorus, they made just for him 

 Adios amigo, Gentleman Jim
