He Was a Friend of Mine
Lord I just can't keep from cryin
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
'Cause he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money To pay his room or board
To pay his room or board
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin
'Cause he was a friend of mine.
