He Was A Friend Of Mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Everytime I think about him now

Lord I just can't keep from crying

Cause he was a friend of mine



He died on the road
He died on the road
well,he never had enough much money
To pay his room or his board
And he was a friend of mine



I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Cause I never had too much money
And I've 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
Everytime I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from crying
Cause he was a friend of mine
