Bobby Bare - He Was a Friend of Mine текст песни

(Harlan Howard - Bobby Bare)

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...
