nanci griffith - he was a friend of mine lyrics

he was a friend of mine
he was a friend 0f mine
never had no money
to pay for his fine
he was a friend of mine

he never done no wrong
he never done no wrong
thousand miles from home
he never hurt no one
he was a friend of mine

he died on the road
he died on the road
never had no money for to pay for sufficient clothes
(he was a friend)
he was a friend of mine

(i stole)
i stole away and cried
(i stole)
i stole away and cried
never had no money and i can't be satisfied
he was a friend of mine

(he was) he was a friend of mine
(he was) he was a friend of mine
when i hear his name you know
i just can't keep from cryin' (and)
(he was) he was a friend of mine
(he was)
