He was a friend of mine
Every time I think of him I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road. He died on the road
He just kept on moving, never reaped what he could sow
And he was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried. I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money and I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong. He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home and he never harmed no woman
And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine. He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name Lord I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine
