He Was a Friend of Mine

He was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine Everytime I think about him now Lord I just can't keep from crying Cause he was a friend of mine He died on the road                         He died on the road wellhe never had enough much money To pay his room or his board 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 I've 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 He was a friend of mine                     He was a friend of mine Everytime I hear his name Lord I just can't keep from crying Cause he was a friend of mine
