He Was A Friend Of Mine

Every time I think about him now
 Lord I just can't keep from crying
 'Cause he was friend a friend of mine
 He died on the road
 He died on the road
 He never had no money
 To pay his room or board
 I stole away and cried
 I stole away and cried
 'Cause I never had too much money
 And I can't be satisfied
 He never done no wrong
 He never done no wrong
 He was just a poor boy
 Long way from home
 Every time I hear his name
 I just can't keep from crying
 'Cause he was a friend of mine
 Every time I think about him now
 Lord I just can't keep from crying
 'Cause he was friend a friend of mine
 He died on the road
 He died on the road
 He never had no money
 To pay his room or board
 I stole away and cried
 I stole away and cried
 'Cause I never had too much money
 And I can't be satisfied
 He never done no wrong
 He never done no wrong
 He was just a poor boy
 Long way from home
 Every time I hear his name
 I just can't keep from crying
 'Cause he was a friend of mine
