He Was A Friend Of Mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I think of him

I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mineHe died on the road

He died on the road

He just kept on moving

Never reaped what he could sow

And he was a friend of mineI 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 mineHe 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
