He Was a Friend of Mine

He, he was a friend of mine

He, he was a friend of mine

Every time I hear his name

Lord, I can't keep from cryin'

He, he was a friend of mineHe never done no wrong

He never done no wrong

Now he was just a poor boy

Such a long way from home

He was a friend of mineHe, he died on the road

He, he died on the road

Oh, he died on the road

Never had no money

Oh, to pay for his board

He died on the roadHe, he was a friend of mine

You know he, he was a friend of mine

He never had no money

For to pay for his fine

He was a friend

He, he was a friend of mine
