Bobby Bare - He Was a Friend of Mine lyrics

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
