He Was a Friend of Mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I think about him now

Lord I just can't keep from crying

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

He died on the road

He never had no money

To pay his room or board

He was a friend of mineI stole away and cried

I stole away and cried

Cause I never had too much money

And I can't be satisfied

He was a friend of mineHe never done no wrong

He never done no wrong

He was just a poor boy

Long way from home

He was a friend of mineHe was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I hear his name

I just can't keep from crying

Cause he was a friend of mine
