Old Friend

You know hard times

Just an old friend, just an old friend to me

I say hard times

Just an old friend, just an old friend to me

Tell me now old friend

Oh, when you gonna let me be?

Can't you feel a cold wind

Howlin' down, blowin' my song?

Can't you feel a cold wind

It's howlin' down, blowin' my song?

Well, I ain't an old man

Oh, but you know my time ain't long

Gonna be a hard rain

I hear it in the distance, sounds so near

Gonna be a hard rain

Can't you hear it in the distance, sounds so near?

People when the rain comes

Oh, it's gonna wash us all away from here

Mean old woman

People won't you tell me where can she be?

Mean old woman

Oh, people won't you tell me where can she be?

She's the only woman

Oh, that ever meant a damn to me

You know hard times

Just an old friend, just an old friend to me

I say hard times

Just an old friend, just an old friend to me

Tell me now old friend

Oh, when you gonna let me be?

Tell me now old friend

Oh, when you gonna let me be?

Tell me now old friend

When you gonna let this poor man be?
