He Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Never had no money
Pay for his fines
He was friend a friend of mine

He died on the road
He died on the road
Never had no money
Pay for his board
He was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
A long way from home
He was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Never had no money
And I can't be satisfied
He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
When I hear his name
You know, I just can't keep from crying
He was a friend of mine
