UNCLE JIM

There was more than one JR, like my uncle Jim,
if you heard him sing you knew, no one like him,
sometimes people not always pleasant you know,
it didn't matter because he sang you'll have to go.

Welcome to my world, nice when it was him and I,
we knew then that we'd never have to say goodbye,
no adios amigos, together forever with Carolina moon,
I'd rather have Jesus, we know that he's coming soon.

It is no secret so we just said let's not wait awhile,
you belong to me, we always remember lovely smile,
we thank you for all the great music when it comes,
what's that - it must be the sound of distant drums.

You opened many hearts and alll those heavenly doors,
we should have known when you said I love you because.
