He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think of 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

---- Instrumental Interlude ---

I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
I 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 was a friend of mine

---- Instrumental Interlude ---

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
