Biography:
Jimmy Soul (August 24, 1942 - June 25, 1988), born James McCleese in Weldon, North Carolina, was a vocalist.
He performed gospel as a teenager, later scouted by Frank Guida and recruited to sing songs handpicked for one of Guida's other hit artists, Gary U.S. Bonds. Soul only ever had two chart hits, both which were Bond's cast-offs, "Twistin' Matilda", in 1962, and the Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "If You Wanna Be Happy" (based on the calypso, "Ugly Woman", by Roaring Lion) in 1963.

Chorus:
C D
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Bm Em
Never make a pretty woman your wife
C D
So from my personal point of view
D G
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Verse:
G Em
A pretty woman makes a man look small
D G
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her
Then she starts doin' the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks your meals on time
An she'll always treat you kind
Chorus:
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Verse:
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry her anyway
Though her face is ugly and her eyes don't match
Take it from me she's a better catch
Chrous:
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
