Lyrics
He Was a Friend of Mine (Trad)
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think of his name I just can?t keep from cryin?
Cuz he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
Yes, he died on the road
He never had that much money to pay his room and board
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Cuz I never had that much money and I?ve never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was never that bad
He never done anyone wrong
A thousand miles from home and he never harmed no one.
He was a friend of mine.
