lyrics

The sun shines through the trees
The guests have all arrived
The priest comes in and now the funeral begins
For dear old Jim McBride

His mother says a prayer
"Lord, take him in your hands"
Then Jimmy’s wife tells a story from dear Jimmy's life
And the congregation stands

And everybody sings a song
And the children all sing along
Goodbye, Jim McBride
Goodbye, Jim McBride

Gerry buys a round
"Let's drink to our old friend
He's gone away but we'll surely join him one day
On that we can depend"

And everybody sings a song
And the children all sing along
Goodbye, Jim McBride
Goodbye, Jim McBride
