He Was A Friend Of Mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I think about him, I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road

He died on the road

He just kept on movin', never reaped what he could sow

And he was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried

I stole away and cried

'Cause I never had too much money, and never been quite satisfied

And he was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong

He never done no wrong

A thousand miles from home, and he never harmed no one

And he, and he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I hear his name, lord, I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mine
