I had a good friend, sometime ago
We had a good thing
And we let it show
Oh I was a fool
I let him go
Oh oh oh, how I miss him so

I had a woman
Who's love was strong
She gave me her freedom
And I let her run
Oh, I was a fool I let her go
Oh oh oh, how I miss her so

I knew a fine man
So strong with strife
He ran for election
And he lost his life
Oh, I was a fool
I let him go
Oh oh oh, how I miss him so
Oh oh oh oh oh, how I miss him so
Ah ah ah ah ah, how I miss him so
