He Was a Friend of Mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Well, he never had no money

Pay for his fine

He was a friend of mine

He died on the road

He died on the road

Well, he never bought no ticket

Pay for his board

He was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried

I stole away and cried

Well, I ain't never had enough money

And I, I can't be satisfied

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Well, whenever I hear his name

Oh, I, I can't keep from crying

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
