He was a friend of mine he was a friend of mine |
|
He died without a penny he didn't have a dime he was a friend of mine |
|
He died neath the midnight sun he died neath the midnight sun |
|
His wanderin' days are over his loneliness is done |
|
Yes he died neath the midnight sun |
|
I have a lot of buddies in my time but he was the best buddy I ever had |
|
The kind of friend you can lean on and turn to when times 're goin' bad |
|
He could have been a rich man or maybe he could be the President |
|
But he was just a friend of mine the one who had died without a cent |
|
I soughed away and cried I soughed away and cried |
|
Tears fell like raindrops the night my best friend died |
|
He was a friend of mine he was a friend of mine |
