Lyrics
My Old Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the Isle of Montserrat, Though I never shall forget
Just a country boy, a guitar and a song
You invited me in, And you treated me like king
And you've given me a reason to go on
My old friend, Thanks for inviting me in
My old friend, May this goodbye never mean the end
If we never meet again this side of life, In a little while, over yonder,
Where it's peace and quiet
My old friend, Won't you think about me every now and then
If I told you how I feel, Oh, it wouldn't sound so real
'Cause emotions, they are just now settin' in
But it sure is great to know, That wherever we may go
We can always be the best of friends
My old friend, Thanks for inviting me in
My old friend, May this goodbye never mean the end
And if we never meet again this side of life
In a little while, over yonder, Where it's peace and quiet
My old friend, Won't you think about me every now and then
And I'll think about you,
My old friend
Yeah...My old friend
