He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
And a thousand miles from home
He'd never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
He died on the road
And a thousand miles from home
He'd never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine

Whos wind came rolling in
And who's heart was softly pounding
Well i lay in my bed once again
And he was a friend of mine

Hmm..was a friend of mine
Hmm..is a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
And a thousand miles from home
And he'd never harm no one
And he was a friend of mine
