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
