He Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

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

Who's 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

Was a friend of mine, 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
