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
