Three People Touched By Tradegy

Jimmy Waters was quite a precocious young man
School marm a mentor who understands
Parents who love him to them he is grand
In the inner city not totally safe

School marm a mentor who understands
Jimmy gunned down by those who are mean
In the inner city not totally safe
He goes threw the ghetto to get to her place

Jimmy gunned down by those who are mean
Parents who love him to them he is grand 
He goes threw the ghetto to get to her place
Jimmy Waters was quite a precocious young man


(Story loosely interpertative from It's Supernatural about a family who had one son born late 
in life and this young man would visit an elderly school teacher eveyday and help her with 
things she needed done and she encouraged him to read poetry and fine writers.  He was 
gunned down one day and he  appeared to her one day when she needed someone.)
