He Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

He Was A Friend Of Mine chords
Dave Van Ronk (traditional song, earliest version as Shorty George 1939, author(s) unknown)
Capo III
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
never had no money
To pay for his fine
he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
never had no money
To pay for his board
he was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
A long way from home
he was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
I never had no money
And I can t be satisfied
he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
When I hear his name
you know I just can t keep from crying
he was a friend of mine
