Adios amigo, adios my friend,
The road we have travelled has come to an end.
When two love the same love, one love has to lose,
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose.
Adios compadre, what must be must be,
Remember to name one muchacho for me.
I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend.
--- Instrumental while he whistles ---
Adios compadre, let us shed no tears,
May all your mañanas bring joy through the years.
Away from these memories, my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend...

I so remember when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s my parents used to play Jim Reeves songs. I am in my 40s and I still remember those songs. Just beautiful...
Jim Reeves, we love you and hope to see you in heaven. we enjoy listening to your songs ever since. My first time was when I was 15 years old, 1971 and now I am 62 still listening to it. I like it so much whether I am down or up.
when i listen zis song tears always come from my eyes. I think of my grandpa/grandma. My grandpa who was a fisherman always whistles this song at at 4 am in ze morning while preparing all his belongings in ze year 1966. I greatly believe zat one day we'll all be in the other world together with Jim Reeves who has put great happiness in ze heart of all of us.
My grandma asked me b4 she died to play this song the day for her funeral this was her favorite song ... It brings tears to my eyes listening to it now continue to rest with our ancestors ♥️♥️♥️
Well one does cast the net to listen to and admire other singers, even get to think they are so very very good. But if your first choice was Gentleman Jim, you know there is no comparison. The best there has been. Missed by millions of fans all over the world. Ken in England. Thank you for posting.
