He was a friend of mine

And he was a friend of mine

Every time I think about him now

Lord I just can't keep from crying

'cause he was a friend of mine



He was a friend of mine

And he was a friend of mine

He died on the road

A thousand miles from home

And he never harmed no one

He was a friend of mine

And he was a friend of mine



He was a friend of mine

And he was a friend of mine

Every time I think about him now

Lord I just can't keep from crying

'cause he was a friend of mine

And he was a friend of mine
