He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Never had no money to pay his fines
But he was a friend of mine
He died on the road (died on the road)
He died on the road (died on the road)
He never had no money to pay for his board (to pay for his board)
But he was a friend of mine
Aah...
He never done no wrong (he never done no wrong)
He never done no wrong (he never done no wrong)
He was just a poor boy (a poor boy)
He was a long, long way from home
And he was a friend of mine
Oh, I stole away and cried (I stole away and cried)
I stole away and cried (I stole away and cried)
I can't figure out what happened (oh no)
And I'll never be satisfied (I won't be satisfied)
'Cause he was a friend of mine
He was a friend
Was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
When I hear his name now
I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine
Yeah, he was a friend of mine
Oh no
He was a friend of mine
