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 mine

He 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 mine

He, 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 road

He, 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
