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
