Lyrics:

He was a friend of mine (2x)
Never had no money never was satisfied
He was a friend of mine

He died on the road (2x)
He was just a poor boy long way from home
He was a friend of mine

I sat right down and I cried (2x)
When I think about him
Sometimes I just can't keep from cryin'
He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine (2x)
Never had no money never was satisfied
He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
